Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

In short, for tracking an organization’s compliance with any regulatory requirements, use compliance score.

Option B is the correct answer.


There is a difference between the secure score and Microsoft secure score. The secure score (also occasionally known as Azure secure score) is available in Microsoft Defender for Cloud. It measures the security posture of Azure resources and services.



Whereas Microsoft secure score is available in Microsoft 365 Defender. It measures the overall security posture of an organization's Microsoft 365 environment.



Both are not related to regulation and compliance. Sometimes both are just referred to secure score, that may lead to further confusion. Options A and C are incorrect.
