Stay in control of your business data with Microsoft 365 Business Premium

One of the biggest data security threats we are seeing are hackers using very sophisticated tactics to try to access business data, to gain financial benefit from end users being very busy and possibly not checking what they are clicking on.

Traditionally a central business server would act as a gatekeeper. This makes it easy to apply security policies and protect users and your business data from external and insider threats.

However, with the desire to access data from anywhere and across multiple devices, moving data to the cloud makes it harder to implement the same policies. This is where Microsoft 365 Business Premium excels, with the productivity of the cloud and the security of a central control system.  

Microsoft 365 Business Premium gives you all the control of a central server 

Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscriptions provide your business with all the functionality and more to protect your business, customers and suppliers going forward.

  • Allows you to join each device to Microsoft Azure Servers so each user can logon to their device using their email address and their profile follows them so they can logon any device with very little setup.
  • Central policies can be set to protect your business data. This is seamless for the users as it is all centrally managed in the cloud
  • Allows devices to be remotely wiped if they have be lost or stolen
  • Provides encryption so all data on the device is encrypted. Data on a stolen device cannot be accessed even if the hard drive is removed and the data theft would not have to be reported to the ICO.
  • Allows you to setup Mobile Device Management, which identifies the users that are accessing your business data on their phones
  • Ensures that each user carries out basic security measures to protect your data on their phone, such as setting TouchID or FaceID
  • Enables you to set policies so no-one can access data outside the geographical area of your choice , such as the UK. Additional policies can set for colleagues that travel.
  • Set policies that only devices you know can connect to your business data
  • Provides advance spam filtering, sandboxing URL’s blocking users clicking on suspicious links

Helping you colleagues protect your business

Many data attacks focus on password fatigue. Busy users working long hours are more likely to not notice suspicious links and password entry becomes automatic.

Setting policies in Microsoft 365 Business Premium eliminates the vast majority of threats while ensuring colleagues can access the resources they need. Strident has the expertise ito help your business set the policies it needs to stay safe and remain productive.
