My Microsoft Secure Score regressed 5 points on April 6 due to the recommendation "Create Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies". I have 17 DLP policies. Is this a new evaluation Microsoft added to the Secure Score? Is it evaluating properly? (Doesn't seem to be in my case). Trying to figure out why I would get 0/5 points when I have 17 DLP polices?

    @ADM-Griffin2, Jay Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    For this issue, it is related to microsoft 365. I'm not a support engineer of this product and know little about it. So, it is suggested to post in Microsoft 365 Community forum to get more help.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    I think that Microsoft changed what gives points towards Secure Score. I have two customers who were affected on the same date 6 April 2023. I can see in the compliance portal that this DLP policy gives point so I've set it up to sent incident reports as action to see if this is what counts now. User's image
