Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your company reviews Secure Score in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. The improvement action "Enable self-service password reset combined registration" is worth 12 points. The functionality is already delivered by the company's third-party identity platform, and you want Secure Score to reflect that the risk is mitigated without deploying the Microsoft solution. In Secure Score, which status should you assign to the improvement action so the organization receives the points?
Set the status to Resolved through third-party.
Set the status to Planned.
Set the status to Risk accepted.
Set the status to Resolved through alternate mitigation.
Choosing "Resolved through third-party" indicates that an external product delivers protection equivalent to the Microsoft-recommended control. Secure Score therefore counts the action as completed and awards the full number of points, while scheduling it for periodic review. "Resolved through alternate mitigation" is intended for Microsoft-based technical alternatives, not external tools. "Risk accepted" records that the organization is willing to tolerate the exposure and grants no points. "Planned" simply documents an intention to act and also gives no points until the control is actually completed.
