Microsoft Security Assessment Tool

The Microsoft Security Assessment Tool (MSAT) is a super handy application that helps you figure out the risks in your IT setup. It gives you tips and best practices to boost your security game.

What’s New in MSAT 4.0?

So, the latest version, MSAT 4.0, is an upgrade from the old Microsoft Security Risk Self-Assessment Tool (MSRSAT) that came out way back in 2004. There was also a version 2.0 released in 2006. Since security issues have changed a lot since then, they added more questions and answers to make sure you have everything you need to tackle today’s threats.

A Holistic Approach to Security

This tool takes a well-rounded look at your security by checking out three main areas: people, processes, and technology. After running the assessment, you'll get findings along with specific advice on what to do next. Plus, it links you to even more resources for deeper insights into industry standards and best practices.
