The complete operating layer
Not just Office. A controlled digital workplace.
Business Standard equips people to work. Business Premium adds the controls IT needs to govern who can enter, which devices can connect, how sensitive data is handled and how endpoint threats are investigated.
Collaborate
Teams, SharePoint, Loop and real-time coauthoring keep conversation and content connected.
Protect
Defender for Business and Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 extend protection across endpoints, mail, links and attachments.
Manage
Intune and Entra ID P1 provide a central policy layer for identities, apps and supported devices.
Govern
Sensitivity labels and DLP help business policy travel with supported email and files.
