Answer 1

Hello @Karoline Hille,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

Based on your description, it appears that the Secure Score for certain recommendations has regressed in your tenant. This issue has affected many other customers since November 11th, impacting all users in the tenant. The affected recommendations with score regression are as follows:

• Disabled accounts with read and write permissions on Azure resources should be removed.
• Disabled accounts with owner permissions on Azure resources should be removed.

The root cause has been identified, and a hotfix is being rolled out for these recommendations. The corrected data has been released, so please check and confirm if you are now seeing the correct data on your end.

If this is not the case for your scenario, please provide additional details on which specific recommendations have had their Secure Score regressed in your tenant.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

We see that there also was a big drop in Ocotober, where there something else happening then? I see others reporting on that as well.
