Tenant Hawk vs Microsoft Secure Score
Secure Score is Microsoft's built-in security posture metric. It is valuable for identity hardening, but it was never designed to answer "where are we wasting money" or "what breaks next month."
| Feature | Tenant Hawk | Microsoft Secure Score |
|---|---|---|
| Identity security recommendations | ||
| License waste with dollar estimates | ||
| Expiring secrets and certificates | ||
| SharePoint / hygiene checks | ||
| Single cross-pillar health score | ||
| Free scan tier | ||
| Microsoft-native (no third party) |
Tenant Hawk adds what Secure Score omits
- License waste ranked by estimated dollars per month, not just security actions.
- Expiring app secrets, SSO certificates, and domain renewals in one reliability view.
- Hygiene signals: inactive users, empty groups, SharePoint sharing defaults.
- One 0–100 tenant health score across security, cost, reliability, and hygiene.
- Read-only scan in minutes with a prioritized fix list for lean IT teams and MSPs.
Secure Score is the better fit when…
Identity security recommendations in Entra ID
- ›You only need Microsoft's own security improvement actions and you live entirely inside Entra admin center.
- ›You already pay for Defender, Purview, and advanced compliance workloads tied to the Secure Score ecosystem.
- ›Your organization mandates Microsoft-native tooling with no third-party assessors.
Use both if you can: Secure Score for Microsoft's security action queue, Tenant Hawk for the economic and operational gaps Microsoft does not score.
