Cyber threats and data breaches aren’t just problems for big corporations anymore—small and medium-sized businesses are now prime targets. In fact:

• 43% of all cyber breaches target small businesses.
• Over 60% of small businesses experienced a cyberattack last year.
• The average cost of a data breach for a small business in 2025 is between £95,000 and £980,000, and some incidents exceed £1.2 million.
• 60% of small businesses close within six months of a severe cyberattack.

These numbers show why cybersecurity is no longer optional—it’s essential for survival.

To make things easier, Microsoft has launched three new add-ons for Microsoft 365 Business Premium:

• Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium
• Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium
• Microsoft Defender and Purview Suite for Business Premium

These solutions give small and medium-sized businesses enterprise-level security and compliance tools—without the complexity or high cost.

🔐 What is the Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium?

Think of this as your digital security guard. It helps protect your business from hackers, phishing emails, and ransomware. Here’s what it does:

• Protects your people: Stops suspicious sign-ins and identity theft.
• Secures your devices: Detects and blocks cyberattacks on laptops and mobiles.
• Keeps email safe: Filters out dangerous links and attachments.
• Monitors cloud apps: Prevents risky apps from putting your data at risk.

🗂️ What is the Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium?

This suite is all about keeping your data safe and staying compliant. It helps you:

• Prevent data leaks: Stops sensitive files from being shared by mistake.
• Protect confidential information: Adds security labels to important documents.
• Stay compliant: Helps meet legal and industry requirements.
• Investigate issues quickly: Makes it easy to find and review data if something goes wrong.

✅ What if You Want Both?

The Defender + Purview Suite combines everything above into one package—giving you complete security and compliance at a lower cost than buying separately.
