This section introduces the key security capabilities included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium. It provides an overview of the core security layers—identity and access controls, device enrollment and management, device security, email and application protection, and data security—that will be explored in detail in the upcoming modules.
In this module, you will deploy and manage security controls using the Microsoft 365 Business Premium Defender Suite. You will implement an end‑to‑end, SMB‑focused security posture across identity, devices, endpoints, email, and collaboration workloads, aligned with Zero Trust best practices. You will configure identity and access controls with Microsoft Entra, including strong authentication, Conditional Access, identity protection, and identity governance using PIM, access reviews, and entitlement management. You will then manage devices with Microsoft Intune, configuring device enrollment, compliance policies, application protection, and device‑based Conditional Access. You will also implement advanced device security using Microsoft Defender for Business and Defender for Endpoint capabilities, including next‑generation protection, attack surface reduction, disk encryption, and compliance enforcement. Finally, you will secure email, apps, and collaboration using Microsoft Defender for Office 365, enabling preset security policies, phishing and malware protection, auditing and alerting, and advanced investigation and response capabilities. By the end of this module, you will be able to apply Defender Suite best practices for Microsoft 365 Business Premium in SMB environments.
In this module, you will implement core data protection, governance, and compliance controls using Microsoft Purview in Microsoft 365 Business Premium. You will enable audit logging, create and publish sensitivity labels using the modern labeling framework, define label priority, and enable labeling for OneDrive and SharePoint, including encryption for labeled content. You will configure retention policies using both static scopes for baseline data governance and adaptive scopes to handle exceptions for departments such as Legal, Finance, and Executives. To prevent data leakage, you will design and deploy Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies across Exchange email, SharePoint, OneDrive, endpoint devices, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Copilot. The module also covers client‑side auto‑labeling, extending automatic classification to Microsoft 365 services, and optionally customizing sensitive information types. Finally, you will activate Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to understand your data estate, assess data risks, apply recommended policy actions, and review policy impact using out‑of‑the‑box posture reports. By the end of this module, you will be able to implement and manage data protection and compliance best practices using Microsoft Purview in Microsoft 365 Business Premium for SMBs.
