Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Yes -
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:
Ensure all users can complete multi-factor authentication for secure access (9 points)
Require MFA for administrative roles (10 points)
Enable policy to block legacy authentication (7 points)

Box 2: Yes -
Each improvement action is worth 10 points or less, and most are scored in a binary fashion. If you implement the improvement action, like create a new policy or turn on a specific setting, you get 100% of the points. For other improvement actions, points are given as a percentage of the total configuration.
Note: Following the Secure Score recommendations can protect your organization from threats. From a centralized dashboard in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, organizations can monitor and work on the security of their Microsoft 365 identities, apps, and devices.

Box 3: Yes -
Microsoft Secure Score is a measurement of an organization's security posture, with a higher number indicating more improvement actions taken.

#3 should be "N". Compliance Score, which is a separate feature in Microsoft 365, specifically focuses on assessing an organization's adherence to key regulations and standards for data protection and governance. Compliance Score evaluates actions and configurations related to compliance requirements, industry regulations, and data protection standards. It provides a score based on the completion of recommended actions related to compliance. You can access the Microsoft 365 Security documentation at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/ You can access the Microsoft 365 Compliance documentation at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/ These resources should provide you with comprehensive information about Microsoft Secure Score, Compliance Score, and their respective functionalities within the Microsoft 365 environment.

Security Center assessments have been mapped to compliance regulations, such that each applicable regulation control has some assessments associated with it. You can view your compliance relative to the supported controls of a regulation based on the passing vs. failing assessments that align with that regulation. As you remediate more assessments, your compliance posture improves.

YYN - "Compliance Manager gives you an initial score based on the Microsoft 365 data protection baseline. This baseline is a set of controls that includes key regulations and standards for data protection and general data governance. This baseline draws elements primarily from NIST CSF (National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization), as well as from FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union)." source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/compliance-score-calculation?view=o365-worldwide
