Collect Secure Score data using the Secure Score API

  • 2 minutes

Besides the web-based Secure Score tool, there's also a Secure Score API that's fully integrated into the Microsoft Graph. This Secure Score API enables organizations to customize where they want to view a dashboard of their Secure Score and all pertinent information.

Collecting Secure Score data through Microsoft Graph provides organizations with numerous benefits, especially in the following scenarios:

  • Monitor and report on their Secure Score in downstream reporting tools.
  • Track their security configuration baseline.
  • Integrate the data into compliance or cybersecurity insurance applications.
  • Integrate Secure Score data into their Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) or Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solutions. Doing so drives a hybrid or multi-cloud framework for security analytics.

Once the Secure Score API has been set up, PowerShell scripts are used to retrieve the necessary data from Secure Score. The Get-SecureScoreAPI PowerShell cmdlet, along with scripts that can be written using this cmdlet, enable organizations to:

  • Feed data into a Power BI dashboard.
  • Conduct advanced analytics.
  • Generate a historical view of the last 30 days of secure score data.

The Secure Score API and its related PowerShell cmdlets are outside the scope of this training. For more information, see Using the Office 365 Secure Score API.
