We are investigating a script/tool that can help our customer configure their Azure Security Center. To my understanding, the first step is to enable the security center for our customer. So I wonder if we can disable the Security Center in our tenant to simulate the initial state, then we can do testing base on it.

Thank you for your post!
Are you trying to disable a specific feature of Azure Security Center? i.e. Azure Defender. When it comes to disabling Azure Security Center as a whole, this isn't possible. However, you can disable the specific features provided by ASC.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.

I just wanted to check in and see if you had any other questions or if you were able to resolve this issue?
Sorry for late reply. Our requirement is to reset the security center for our tenant/subscription to mock a new Azure account/tenant. Thus we can test the Azure Security Center enable process. But according to your answer, it is impossible. So I am going to find some other solution for the test.
Thanks for your reply.
