- Overall score better reflects the overall posture - Points were awarded at the recommendation level. With this enhancement, your score will only improve when you remediate *all* of the recommendations for a single resource within a control. That means that your score only improves when the security of a resource improves.

In some cases you will see a control max score greater than zero, but the impact is zero. When the incremental score for fixing resources is negligible, it is rounded to zero. Don't ignore these recommendations as they still bring security improvements. The only exception is the “Additional Best Practice” control. Remediating these recommendations won't increase your score, but it will enhance your overall security.
