The correct answer is the Microsoft Defender portal .
Explanation
Exposure Score is a security metric provided by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint . It measures an organization’s overall security posture by evaluating device configuration, vulnerabilities, and security controls across endpoints.
Microsoft documentation defines Exposure Score as part of the Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management experience, which is accessed through the Microsoft Defender portal .
The Exposure Score helps administrators:
Understand how vulnerable devices are across the organization
Track improvements to security posture over time
Prioritize remediation actions based on risk
Microsoft explicitly states that Exposure Score is viewed and managed within the Microsoft Defender portal , which serves as the central dashboard for Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, and related security services.
Why the other options are incorrect
A. the Microsoft Intune admin center
Intune focuses on device management, compliance, and configuration profiles. While it provides device health and compliance reporting, it does not display the Defender Exposure Score.
B. the Microsoft Purview portal
Microsoft Purview is used for data governance, compliance, insider risk, and information protection. It has no functionality related to endpoint exposure scoring.
D. the Microsoft 365 admin center
The Microsoft 365 admin center is designed for tenant-wide administration such as users, licenses, and services. It does not provide detailed endpoint security metrics like Exposure Score.
