We’re updating Microsoft Secure Score improvement actions to ensure a more accurate representation of security posture.

This update will be available for customers with an active app governance license. The update includes a new recommendation ‘Regulate apps with priority account consent’ as a Microsoft Secure Score improvement action.

Apps that have been given consent by a priority account might have access to critical resources. The objective of this new improvement action is to set policies that track such apps, to help protect sensitive data and identify misuse or compromise of critical accounts.

We will continue to add suggested security improvement actions on an ongoing basis.

When this will happen:

This will roll out and be completed by end-June.

The following improvement actions related to App governance will be added to Microsoft Secure Score:
