New Microsoft Offerings Open Up Enterprise-Grade Security to SMBs, for Less
Microsoft is introducing new add-on suites for Microsoft 365 Business Premium that offer security and compliance capabilities from Microsoft E5, at a fraction of the traditional cost.
Why This Matters for SMBs
This initiative allows SMBs to access advanced security and compliance tools previously reserved for large enterprises, leveling the playing field and providing robust protection at an affordable price point.
Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium
This suite includes Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, and Entra ID P2.

Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium
This suite bundles Information Protection & Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Insider Risk Management, Message Encryption & Customer Key, and eDiscovery & Audit. Previously costing $19 per user per month, the suite price is now $10 per user per month—a 47% price reduction.
Microsoft Defender + Purview Suite for Business Premium
This comprehensive package includes everything from both the Defender and Purview suites. Valued at over $47 per user per month, it is now available for a bundled price of $15 per user per month, offering a 68% pricing discount.
