Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question

Microsoft Purview compliance score expresses your organization's progress toward meeting data protection and regulatory requirements as a percentage-based score. It aggregates the status of controls, recommends and prioritizes improvement actions, and quantifies the risk reduction each action provides. Compliance Manager assessment templates supply the underlying control framework but do not present a real-time numeric posture measure. The Service Trust Portal only hosts documentation and audit reports, while Microsoft Secure Score tracks security-hardening, not compliance with regulations. Therefore, compliance score is the correct choice for a single, prioritized metric of compliance posture.
