security score requirements > 80 ?
Hi, I’m a distributor and noticed that there has been an update to the One-Page CSP Improvements Campaign – Authorizations One Pager. Previously, the document specified that a security score above 80 was required. However, I noticed that this requirement is no longer mentioned in the latest version I downloaded. Could you please confirm whether this criterion still applies, or if the only current prerequisites are as follows: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) must be enabled for all administrative users in the CSP tenant. A security contact must be designated within Partner Center. Security alerts must be responded to within 24 hours or less (not applicable to indirect reseller partners) I would appreciate your clarification on this matter.

Clarification on process to set up as direct bill CSP in another geographic region.
We are currently a Tier 1 direct bill CSP partner in the US. We have created a business entity in the British Virgin Islands with the aim of transacting CSP in the LATAM region. I am a bit stuck in the process of getting this set up, hoping someone here who has gone through it can help provide a sanity check. I have a ticket open with Microsoft but they've literally been ignoring my requests for update for a full week as of today. So far we've set up the BVI business entity and linked it to our main MPN in Partner Center as a new location. The tenant has been created in the BVI as well for the entity. It is my understanding we next need to enroll this new entity as a partner here. When I fill the form I am getting errors the name already exists, even though it's a new entity.

Securing Global Administrator accounts
Hello all, According to this article: Use admin accounts only for Microsoft 365 administration. Admins should have a separate user account for their regular use of Microsoft 365 Apps, and only use their administrative account when necessary to manage accounts and devices, and while working on other admin functions. It's also a good idea to remove the Microsoft 365 license from your admin accounts so you don't have to pay for extra licenses. I should have a separate unlicensed admin account. How do I follow the above recommendation and continue to receive emails from the partner center? We have also been encouraged to use Privileged Identity Management, and use one account but only activate the admin role when needed. Does Microsoft recommend using PIM, or do they recommend using separate admin accounts? When using PIM, I only receive email sent to global administrators, when the PIM role is active. I am having trouble understanding how to follow this guidance when the admin portals do not appear to support emailing the "regular user account" of an administrator. When I asked Partner Center frontline support for clarification on this guidance I was asked to post my question here. Thanks!
