Most scoring services will license or sell the scores of industry peers to a company so that it can compare its security practices to others in the same market. Contracts usually prohibit companies from publishing the scores of other companies, but there are no guarantees.
FICO has no such clause in its contract right now. Insurance companies have licenses with score providers for the underwriting process. The company applying for cyber insurance has no say in what provider issues the score. Just as Experian, TransUnion and Equifax have become the primary credit score providers, will the current pool of enterprise security score providers be whittled down to just a few?

This way, you can understand security best practices and improve your score. Your absolute security posture, represented by Secure Score, stays the same no matter what licenses your organization owns for a specific product. Keep in mind that security should be balanced with usability, and not every recommendation can work for your environment.
Your score is updated in real time to reflect the information presented in the visualizations and improvement action pages. Secure Score also syncs daily to receive system data about your achieved points for each action.
Each improvement action is worth 10 points or less, and most are scored in a binary fashion. For other improvement actions, points are given as a percentage of the total configuration. For example, an improvement action states you get 10 points by protecting all your users with multi-factor authentication.
Recommendations for other security products are coming soon. The recommendations won't cover all the attack surfaces associated with each product, but they're a good baseline. You can also mark the improvement actions as covered by a third party or alternate mitigation.
Microsoft Secure Score has updated improvement actions to support security defaults in Azure Active Directory , which make it easier to help protect your organization with pre-configured security settings for common attacks. If you turn on security defaults, you'll be awarded full points for the following improvement actions:. Security defaults include security features that provide similar security to the "sign-in risk policy" and "user risk policy" improvement actions. Instead of setting up these policies on top of the security defaults, we recommend updating their statuses to "Resolved through alternative mitigation.

The Network Security module checks public datasets for evidence of high risk or insecure open ports within the organization network.
It validates that no malicious events occurred in the passive DNS history of the organization's network. The Patching Cadence module analyzes how quickly an organization installs security updates to measure vulnerability risk mitigation practices.
The Endpoint Security module tracks identification points that are extracted from metadata related to the operating system, web browser, and related active plugins.

The Cubit Score module measures a variety of security issues that an organization might have. For example, we check public threat intelligence databases for IP addresses that have been flagged. The Hacker Chatter module is an automated collection and aggregation system for the analysis of multiple streams of underground hacker chatter.
