Microsoft 365 tier for SMEs including productivity apps plus advanced security and device management.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium is Microsoft's recommended tier for small and medium businesses (up to 300 users), combining productivity applications with security features typically found in enterprise plans. It includes Defender for Office 365 Plan 1, Defender for Business (endpoint protection), Intune device management, Azure Information Protection, and Entra ID Premium P1. Business Premium provides significant security capabilities at SME-accessible pricing.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
Business Premium includes security features many SMEs need but don't realise they have. If you're on Business Basic or Standard, upgrading to Premium adds endpoint protection, advanced email security, and device management.
