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.
| Identity |
|---|
| Risk-Based Conditional Access / Identity Protection Adds Identity Protection risk-based Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management on top of Entra ID P1. Automatically detect and respond to compromised credentials and risky sign-ins, and build Conditional Access policies that key off Microsoft’s calculated user/sign-in risk score. |
| Privileged Identity Management Adds Identity Protection risk-based Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management on top of Entra ID P1. Grant admin roles just-in-time (time-bound, approval-gated activation) instead of standing access, with full activation audit history. A core Entra ID P2 entitlement, also obtainable via the standalone Entra ID Governance add-on. |
| Access Reviews Adds Identity Protection risk-based Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management on top of Entra ID P1. Periodically require an owner or the user themselves to re-certify continued need for group membership, app access, or a role assignment — access that’s no longer needed gets removed automatically. |
| Entitlement Management Adds Identity Protection risk-based Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management on top of Entra ID P1. Bundle groups, apps, and SharePoint sites into a requestable "access package" with approval workflow and automatic expiration — including for external/guest users. |
| Security |
| Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 Endpoint detection and response, threat and vulnerability management, and attack surface reduction for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. Endpoint detection and response: attack surface reduction, behavioral monitoring, and automated investigation/remediation for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. |
| Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 Protects email and collaboration content from phishing, malware, and malicious links via Safe Links and Safe Attachments. Protects mail and collaboration content from phishing and malware: Safe Links, Safe Attachments, and anti-phishing at Plan 1; adds automated investigation/response, attack simulation, and threat hunting at Plan 2. |
| Defender for Identity Monitors on-premises Active Directory signals to detect compromised identities and malicious insider actions. Monitors on-premises Active Directory signals (via a lightweight sensor on domain controllers) to detect compromised identities and lateral-movement/privilege-escalation attacks. |
| 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. |
| eDiscovery Premium Advanced eDiscovery search, review, and analysis tools, including machine-learning-assisted review, for legal and compliance investigations. Search, hold, and export content across mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams for a legal or investigative matter. Standard covers search/export; Premium adds review sets, custodian management, and analytics (near-duplicate detection, email threading, predictive coding). |
| Sensitivity Labels Automatic labeling Adds automatic and recommended sensitivity labeling on top of Information Protection for Office 365 Standard's manual labeling. 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. |
| Purview Information Protection (analytics) Premium Adds more detailed usage reporting and analytics on top of the standard information-protection and governance analytics. Visibility into where labeled/sensitive content actually lives and how it moves (Content Explorer, Activity Explorer) — distinct from Sensitivity Labels itself, which covers creating and applying the labels; this is the reporting/analytics layer on top. |
| 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. |
| Customer Lockbox Requires explicit customer approval before a Microsoft engineer can access content to resolve a support request. |
| Productivity |
