Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Business Standard + Intune, Defender and Entra ID P1.
Quick answer
Microsoft 365 Business Premium is the all-in-one bundle for SMBs of up to 300 users, with security and device management included. On top of Business Standard it adds Intune (MDM), Defender for Business (EDR), Entra ID P1 (Conditional Access) and Information Protection P1 — at ~$22 per user/month.
M365 Business Premium is the 'all-in-one' bundle for security-conscious SMBs. Bought standalone, the bundled components alone would total Intune ($8) + Defender ($3) + Entra P1 ($6) + AIP ($2) = $19 — added to Standard, that lands at ~$22.
Defender for Business is the SMB-targeted variant of Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 (capped at 300 users); it carries EDR, automated investigation and threat-hunting capability.
Intune manages corporate devices (Windows + iOS + Android): Sora Yazılım configures application deployment, compliance policies and Conditional Access enforcement end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
Defender for Business vs. Defender for Endpoint?
Defender for Business is the SMB variant of Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 — capped at ~300 users with a simplified console. Above 300 seats, or for advanced threat hunting, Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 is required.
Is Intune only for corporate devices?
No. In MDM (Mobile Device Management) mode it fully manages corporate devices; in MAM (Mobile App Management) mode it controls only the corporate apps on personal devices (BYOD).
What is Entra ID P1?
Microsoft Entra ID Premium 1 (formerly Azure AD P1) includes Conditional Access, dynamic groups, self-service password reset, MFA, Identity Protection (risk-based MFA) and MDM auto-enrollment.
Are Sensitivity Labels enough for GDPR?
Sensitivity Labels deliver classification and encryption; for GDPR compliance they're paired with DLP policies. Sora Yazılım designs labels + policies against a GDPR control matrix.
Example Conditional Access policies?
Typical: 'Access only from Intune-compliant devices'; 'MFA + risk evaluation from non-approved geographies'; 'Always MFA for admin accounts'; 'Block legacy auth protocols'. Sora Yazılım deploys a templated policy set.
Are Windows 11 Enterprise rights included?
No — Business Premium does not include Windows 11 Enterprise; Windows 11 Pro is supported. Enterprise E3/E5 carry the Windows 11 Enterprise upgrade right. Business Premium does support Windows Autopilot (zero-touch provisioning).
Is backup included?
No. Microsoft doesn't guarantee long-term recovery beyond default retention. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud or Veeam M365 Backup is a recommended companion.
How do I scale beyond 300 users?
Upgrade to Enterprise E3 or E5. E3 ~$36/month, E5 ~$57/month — more expensive than Business Premium but unlocks unlimited seats and richer security (Defender XDR, eDiscovery).
What does Information Protection do?
It labels documents (Public/Internal/Confidential/Highly Confidential), encrypts them and controls access. Even when documents leave the organization, unauthorized recipients cannot open them.
How is Defender for Business EDR turned on?
Sora Yazılım pushes the onboarding script through Intune to Windows endpoints. Devices appear in the Defender portal within an hour and threat monitoring starts automatically.
