Microsoft Secure Score is Removing Deprecated Recommended Actions for Microsoft Defender for Office

Originally posted by Microsoft Feb 3, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

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

This update will include removing the following recommended actions related to Microsoft Defender for Office:

• Ensure spam safety tips are enabled – anti-spam safety tips are no longer relevant.
• Enable the ‘show first contact safety tip‘ option – As the first contact safety tip is under review to improve the end user experience, we are removing this as a recommended action. This tip can still be enabled using Anti-Phishing Default or Custom policies.

When this will happen:

We will begin rollout in mid-February and expect rollout to be complete by late February.

How this will affect your organization:

When these recommended actions are removed from Microsoft Secure Score, your score will be updated accordingly.

What you need to do to prepare:

There is no action required from you to prepare for this change.
