More Information

We're updating Microsoft Secure Score improvement actions for Microsoft Defender for Identity to ensure a more accurate representation of your security posture.

As part of this update, we will withdraw this Microsoft Defender for Identity recommendation: Remove Resource Based Constrained Delegation for Microsoft Entra seamless SSO account.

This rollout is part of our work to refine the recommendations report, to ensure it aligns more accurately with recommended policies and enhances the overall security value.

(Worldwide, GCC, DoD) We will begin rolling out mid-September 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Although we will remove the recommendation from Microsoft Secure Score, your Secure Score will not be affected by this change since the recommendation is always set to Completed status.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
