The Microsoft Secure Score for Identity Security Posture Assessment activity focuses on a guided exploration of the Secure Score improvement actions related to identity and preparing the results as part of the 10 - Secure Identities and Access - Key results, Recommendations and Next Steps.pptx presentation.

Open the Improvement Actions tab and use the filter function to show improvement actions within the Identity category.
Open each improvement action that hasn’t already been completed and explain:
In some cases, it might be useful to demonstrate the improvement action functionality and/or feature using a demonstration tenant.
For each improvement action, update the action plan status and notes. For example, if the customer agrees to implement the improvement action, set the status to Planned and add notes if needed. If the customer is planning to implement the improvement action as part of a planned next step, you can also add a tag with the name of the next step. This could, for example, be the name of a planned engagement. You can then later filter the improvement actions based on their tags.
Use the list of planned improvement actions to update the Microsoft Secure Score Results section within the 10 - Secure Identities and Access - Key results, Recommendations and Next Steps.pptx presentation.
