Is there a deal on the Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium?
Yes. Bundling the suite usually costs far less than buying the included security products separately. We review what you pay for today, show what you could save, and quote it for your team. Ask about any current offers.
Is there a deal on the Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium?
Yes. The suite bundles compliance and data-protection tools that are expensive to buy individually. We review what you need, show what you could save, and quote it for your team. Ask about any current offers.
Is it cheaper to buy both suites together?
Yes. Bundling both suites usually costs far less than buying the individual licences, and you get one invoice and one point of contact. Ask us for a bundle quote.
Does the deal include setup?
Licences and setup are quoted separately. We offer fixed-price deployment so the controls are configured properly, and we will quote it with the licences.
Can I get a quote for my team?
Yes. Book a free review or call 01444 871200 and we will give you a fixed monthly price for your user count.
The cost problem small businesses face
Security used to mean buying a separate product for endpoints, email, identity, data loss and compliance. Industry research cited by Microsoft partners puts the average small and medium business at around 20 different security tools. That means overlapping licences, many portals to check and alerts nobody has time to investigate.
What the suites cost
What you get
- Defender Suite: Entra ID Plan 2, Defender for Identity, Defender for Endpoint Plan 2, Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 and Defender for Cloud Apps.
- Purview Suite: eDiscovery and Audit, Insider Risk Management, and Information Protection and Governance.
For the full breakdown, see our guide to Microsoft Defender and Purview for small business.
Is it worth it for a 10 to 100 person business?
A useful test: would a single successful phishing attack, lost laptop or data leak cost you more than a year of protection for your whole team? Compare that with downtime, recovery costs, regulator or client scrutiny and the loss of trust. It is also the groundwork you need before rolling out Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Who should buy what
- On Business Basic or Standard: move to Business Premium first, then add Defender.
- Handling client, patient or financial data: add Purview for data loss prevention and audit.
- Planning Copilot: add both, so permissions and sensitive data are under control.
- Charities and schools: ask us about education and charity pricing.
