Why each option
The Secure Score increases only for improvement actions marked as 'Completed'; actions with 'Planned' or 'Risk accepted' statuses do not immediately contribute points.
This would imply no actions were completed or that all completed actions had 0 points, which is inconsistent with typical Secure Score mechanics and the presence of other options.
The Microsoft Secure Score is increased by the points associated with improvement actions that are successfully implemented and marked as 'Completed'. Actions that are set to 'Planned' or 'Risk accepted' statuses do not immediately add points to the Secure Score.
This option suggests a higher point gain than the correct answer, indicating it includes points from actions not yet completed or not contributing to the score.
This option suggests a higher point gain than the correct answer, indicating it includes points from actions not yet completed or not contributing to the score.
