Upgrade to Microsoft 365 Business Premium for Better Protection
Protecting Your Business: Why Microsoft 365 Business Premium Is a Smart Upgrade
If your business relies on Microsoft 365, the licence you choose can make a big difference to your security, control and compliance. At Cortec, we are increasingly recommending Microsoft 365 Premium for our support clients, not because it is the most expensive option, but because it includes powerful tools that protect your data, your users and your devices. Here is why it is worth the upgrade:
Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Advanced protection against modern threats such as phishing, ransomware and impersonation.
- Quarantines suspicious emails before they reach inboxes
- Blocks links and attachments that lead to malicious content
- Stops domain and user impersonation attacks
- Sends quarantine reports so users stay in control
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Prevents sensitive Information from leaking, whether accidentally or intentionally.
- Detects and blocks sharing of credit card numbers, national insurance numbers and other sensitive data
- Helps enforce compliance policies automatically
- Prevents data from being copied, emailed or uploaded where it should not be
Microsoft Intune
Complete control over company devices, including laptops, phones, tablets and PCs.
- Securely manage who can access your data and from where
- Enforce encryption, antivirus and update compliance
- Lost or stolen device? Remotely wipe company data
- Only allow trusted and compliant devices to access sensitive files
Entra ID P1
Smarter identity and access management with Conditional Access.
- Enforce Multi Factor Authentication in a flexible and targeted way
- Block logins from high-risk locations while allowing trusted exceptions
- Require compliant devices to access company data
- Reduce risk without increasing friction for users
What This Means for You
With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you get a full-featured licence with tools designed for today’s remote, hybrid and mobile workforce without needing to add third-party solutions. For our current support clients, Cortec can help with licensing, configuration, and security setup to ensure you are getting the most from your investment. Many businesses are still on Microsoft 365 Business Standard, which is a great productivity tool, but it is missing these key security features. If you are a Cortec support client, we can review your current setup, compare your licence options and assist with a secure transition to Business Premium.
