Secure Score Not Refreshing After Completed Recommendations Since 03-Aug-2026 Resulting in Incorrect ASC Score
Hello Team,
We are experiencing an issue with the Microsoft Defender for Cloud (ASC Secure Score) not reflecting completed remediation actions.
Subscription Name - Customer Success Services
Issue Summary:
- We remediated the following Secure Score recommendations on 03-Aug-2026:
- Remediate vulnerabilities (Potential score increase: +14%)
- Remediate security configurations (Potential score increase: +2%)
Evidence Observed:
- "Remediate vulnerabilities" shows Completed, but the current score remains 0/6 and still indicates a +14% potential score increase.
- "Remediate security configurations" shows Completed, but the score has not been updated despite all associated recommendations being remediated.
- Screenshots attached for reference.
Business Impact: Our organization is required to maintain an ASC Secure Score above 90% as part of our security compliance requirements. Due to the score not being updated after successful remediation, we are currently unable to demonstrate compliance against the required threshold.
Request: Could you please investigate the backend Secure Score calculation/refresh process and prioritize assistance in correcting the Secure Score? Additionally, please confirm:
- Whether the recommendations have been fully processed by the Secure Score engine.
- If there is any issue preventing score recalculation.
- Whether a manual refresh or backend reprocessing is required.
Thank you for your assistance. We would appreciate expedited support due to the compliance impact. We are experiencing an issue with the Microsoft Defender for Cloud (ASC Secure Score) not reflecting completed remediation actions.
