So previously we’ve spoken about documenting the Office 365 Secure Score. For a great resource on this I’d suggest you check out Eliot’s blog on documenting the Secure Score here. Its a fantastic resource.

This time I’m not going to focus on documenting the Secure Score directly – But increasing it. we want to make sure that the Secure Score is as high as possible with as little user impact as possible. To do this, I’ve selected some items that increase your secure score but have next to no impact on normal usage. Of course you’ll have to check if this is true for your environment too.

The Script

The script is set up to enable the following features for all tenants in your partner portal.

• Move mail with a high confidence spam rating to the Junk Folder (Does not increase SecureScore, but was requested to add on Slack. You can remove this item if you only want the Secure Score increase)
• Mailbox Auditing for all users
• Mailbox Litigation hold where possible.
• DelegateSentitemsStyle for mailboxes
• NDR report for journaling.
• Set the outbound spam filter reporting e-mail address
• Set “Do not allow users to grant consent to unmanaged applications”
• Disable password expire on user accounts
• Enable the self-service password reset(I’d strongly recommend to first enable multi factor authentication for all your users.

I believe I could’ve added more features but I chose to only enable the ones with no to very little user impact. Using this script you can adapt it to all your wishes. It’s also very easy to disable one of the features – Just remove the the entire block of code that you do not want to enable.
