# Export Secure Score controls

> Export the filtered loaded controls to CSV and understand permission and scope limits.

**Audience:** MSP staff with Microsoft 365 management permission. Read access alone does not expose **Export CSV**. Company users can ask their MSP for an export.

## Download a CSV

1. Open **Cloud > Posture > Secure Score** and confirm the company scope.
2. Choose **Needs attention**, **Addressed** or **All**.
3. Apply the column filters for the records you need.
4. Select **Export CSV** and wait for the browser download.
5. Open the file in a spreadsheet application and check the company, statuses and rows before using it.

The export contains the filtered loaded rows across table pages. It is not limited to checked rows or just the current 20-row page. The reader loads at most 5,000 controls for the selected scope; it cannot export records it has not loaded. Export one company at a time when reviewing a large portfolio.

## CSV fields

The English export has these ten fields, even if some corresponding columns are hidden in the table:

| Field               | Meaning                                                                         |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Company             | Associated company name.                                                        |
| Title               | Recommendation title.                                                           |
| Category            | Security category.                                                              |
| Service             | Related Microsoft service.                                                      |
| Severity            | Tier-derived priority label.                                                    |
| Status              | Displayed state; an unrecognized Microsoft state can keep its provider wording. |
| Current Score       | Stored points currently achieved for the control.                               |
| Max Points          | Maximum points for that control, not remaining improvement.                     |
| Tier                | Underlying recommendation tier when supplied.                                   |
| Implementation Cost | Provider's implementation-cost value when supplied.                             |

The CSV is table data. It does not include remediation text, detail history, summary cards or a provider PDF. Use [Read a Secure Score control](/user-guides/microsoft-365/read-secure-score-control) for supporting evidence.

## FAQs

  <Accordion title="Why can I read Secure Score but not export it?">
    Export CSV requires Microsoft 365 management permission. Ask the MSP to review access or provide the export.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the CSV contain only the selected rows?">
    No. It includes the active view’s filtered loaded rows, independently of checkboxes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the export stop at the current table page?">
    No. It includes filtered loaded rows across pagination. It remains bounded by the reader’s 5,000-control load limit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does hiding a column remove it from the CSV?">
    No. The export has a fixed set of ten fields.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I download remediation and history in this CSV?">
    No. Those details are not among the export fields. Open the control panel to read them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Max Points the improvement I will gain?">
    No. It is the control’s maximum value. Some points may already be achieved, and actual changes depend on Microsoft’s subsequent assessment.
