Safeguard Your Habitat

With Microsoft Secure Score From Galtec

In today’s world of escalating cyber threats, small and medium-sized businesses, charities, and educational institutions must ensure their security measures are robust, actionable, and easy to manage. Microsoft Secure Score helps you benchmark your IT and online security posture, providing immediate actions to reduce vulnerabilities.

What is Microsoft Secure Score?

Microsoft Secure Score is a security analytics tool in Microsoft 365 that measures your organisation’s overall security posture. It evaluates your security setup, identifies vulnerabilities, and offers actionable recommendations to improve your defences. These recommendations cover critical areas such as identity, data, devices, and applications, ensuring comprehensive security. The tool highlights security gaps and prioritises actions that significantly reduce risks while maintaining productivity.

Key Focus Areas:

  1. Identity: Securing Your First Line of Defence – Securing identities isn’t just about protecting user accounts; it’s about safeguarding the entire organisation’s digital ecosystem. Identity theft and account compromise are common threats, with 61% of breaches linked to compromised identities (Source: Verizon). Microsoft Secure Score suggests implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA), conditional access policies, and identity protection measures. Enabling MFA can block 99.9% of identity-based attacks (Source: Microsoft).

  2. Data: Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset – Data breaches are costly and damaging. Microsoft Secure Score encourages data encryption, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, and access controls to reduce the risk of unauthorised data sharing or theft, aiding compliance with regulations like GDPR or PCI-DSS.

  3. Devices: Securing Your Endpoints – With hybrid working on the rise, securing endpoints like laptops and mobile devices is crucial. 70% of remote workers use personal devices for work (HP), increasing cyber-attack risks. Microsoft Secure Score evaluates device security, ensuring policies like encryption, patch management, and Mobile Device Management (MDM) through tools like Microsoft Intune are in place.

  4. Applications: Strengthening Your Software Ecosystem – Applications are a significant attack surface. Web application attacks contribute to 26% of breaches (Source: Verizon). Microsoft Secure Score reviews application security, suggesting best practices for securing configurations, managing access, and keeping applications updated.

Challenges for SMBs

 

While Microsoft Secure Score offers a clear path to better security, SMBs face challenges such as limited time and resources, talent shortages, cost constraints, evolving threats, and balancing security with productivity. Lean IT teams struggle with continuous updates and monitoring, and the high demand for cybersecurity expertise leaves many businesses vulnerable. Budget limitations often lead to security gaps, and the evolving threat landscape requires ongoing attention. Microsoft Secure Score helps by recommending actions that improve security with minimal disruption to productivity.
