Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out some recent adjustments with Microsoft Secure Score. We set a target of reaching 60% by June, but as of May 5th, we hadn't hit it yet. Surprisingly, I checked again, and it suddenly showed that we met the target. However, when I looked into it further, I found out that while our actual points increased slightly, the total points available had dropped, which is confusing! Here's what I saw: on May 5th we had 844.39 out of 1422 points, but by May 20th, we had 847.54 out of only 1385 points. Is this something that happens often? And is there a way to track those changes in total points?

You should check the 'Improvement actions' list to get insights tailored to your organization. The max score does vary based on how your tenant is set up, so it’s good to review that regularly!
The total points can change as the security landscape and best practices evolve. It also depends on your tenant size because having more users means different recommendations for your organization. You’ll want to keep an eye on how that affects your score!
Is there a way to see where the changes are documented? It’d be helpful to know what specific points have been adjusted.
