## Overview

Leaving high-priority Microsoft Entra recommendations unaddressed can create a gap in an organization’s security posture, offering threat actors opportunities to exploit known weaknesses. Not acting on these items might result in an increased attack surface area, suboptimal operations, or poor user experience.

## Remediation

- [Address all high priority recommendations in the Microsoft Entra admin center](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity/monitoring-health/overview-recommendations?wt.mc_id=zerotrustrecommendations_automation_content_cnl_csasci#how-does-it-work)

## Run it

The check runs as part of the whole assessment, with the ZeroTrustAssessment module installed:

```powershell
Install-Module ZeroTrustAssessment -Scope CurrentUser
Connect-Maester
Invoke-Maester -Pack ZTA -SkipBuiltIn
```

Leave out `-SkipBuiltIn` to run Maester's own checks in the same run.
