What's included
Curated capability groupings first, then every remaining service plan Microsoft provisions with this SKU — together they're the complete list, nothing is hidden.
| Security |
|---|
| Defender for Cloud Apps Full Defender for Cloud Apps (all sanctioned SaaS) A cloud access security broker (CASB) that discovers shadow IT and applies access and session controls to third-party cloud apps. A cloud access security broker (CASB): discovers shadow IT, and applies session/access policies across sanctioned SaaS apps. The Office 365-scoped tier only covers Microsoft 365 activity; the full product extends that policy control to third-party cloud apps. |
| Compliance |
| Retention Policies Retention labels and policies that keep content an organization needs and delete content it doesn't, on a defined schedule. Keep or delete content on a schedule, org-wide or by label, across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — for regulatory retention requirements or simply to reduce stale-data risk. |
| Sensitivity Labels Automatic labeling Manual sensitivity labeling for Office documents and email to classify and protect content. Classify and protect content (encryption, watermarking, access restriction) by applying labels users pick or that get applied for them. Manual, user-applied labeling is the base tier; automatic labeling (content is scanned and labeled without user action) needs the higher tier. |
| Data Loss Prevention |
| Audit Premium Extends Microsoft Purview Audit with a longer retention window and additional high-value audit log events for forensic investigations. A searchable log of user and admin activity across Microsoft 365. Standard covers 180 days of retention and core events; Premium extends retention to a year (with add-ons to 10 years), adds high-value crucial events (mailbox access, mail-forwarding-rule changes), and higher log bandwidth for faster forensic investigation. |
| Insider Risk Management Detects and helps investigate risky user activity such as data theft or policy violations, using signals from across Microsoft 365. Detect and act on risky user activity (data theft before resignation, policy violations, security-control evasion) using signals across Microsoft 365, correlated into investigable alerts. |
| Records Management Manages regulatory, legal, and business-critical records through their full retention and disposition lifecycle. Classify content as an official business record with a defensible retention/disposition schedule, event-based retention, and disposition review before deletion. |
| Communication Compliance Scans internal and external communications for policy violations such as harassment, regulatory breaches, or sensitive-data sharing. Scans internal and external communications (Teams, Exchange, third-party connectors) for policy violations — harassment, regulatory/insider-trading language, sensitive-data sharing — and routes matches to reviewers. |
| Customer Key Lets an organization supply and control its own encryption keys for Microsoft 365 data at rest. Supply and control your own encryption keys for Microsoft 365’s at-rest data encryption layer, so Microsoft can’t access your content without your key. |
| Productivity |
| Exchange Online Archiving |
