Current score = [Score per resource] * [Number of healthy resources] Five users that have owner permissions for Sub1 = 5 x 5/5 Five users that have owner permissions for Azure resources = 5 x 5/10 Total score = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/secure-score-security-controls

Selected Answer: C

Max secure score contribution = 10 points Total affected users = 15 5 with owner on subscription 10 with owner on Azure resources You're enabling MFA for 10 users (5 + 5) Formula: To calculate the score increase proportionally: Score increase = 10 × ( 10 15 ) = 6.67 Score increase=10×( 15 10 )= 6.67 But here’s the important detail: Microsoft rounds score impacts up to the nearest 0.5 in Secure Score reporting (based on recent Microsoft Learn documentation and confirmed behavior in the portal). So: 6.67 → 7.5 (rounded up) 6.67→ 7.5 (rounded up)
