   If you're part of a Microsoft 365 Family subscription the last step is to decide if you'd like to share your security status with your family organizers. The family organizer is the person who established the Microsoft 365 Family subscription, and any other family members that person has selected to be family organizers.

   By sharing your security status, you make it easier for the family organizers to help keep your devices and identity safe. This only shares security and identity threat monitoring information from Defender, not any other information about your device or any of your personal files. For more information see Protect the whole family with Microsoft Defender.

   Once that process is done, we'll take you to your Microsoft Defender dashboard and then you're all set.
