Your team is managing emails, client files, online meetings, and multiple devices. Everything is going well—until it’s not.

Perhaps an employee clicks on a suspicious email link, triggering a ransomware attack. Or you discover a former employee’s login credentials are still active, giving them access to sensitive systems. Maybe your team’s devices fall out of sync, leaving key staff without access to critical tools.

These challenges are surprisingly common, especially for businesses relying on basic tools. While Microsoft 365 Business Standard provides the essentials for productivity, it’s not built to handle today’s sophisticated security threats.

Enter Microsoft 365 Business Premium—the enhanced version of Business Standard. Yes, it costs a bit more, but it’s designed to address the exact challenges that can derail business growth. From advanced security to streamlined device management, Business Premium delivers not just tools, but peace of mind.

Why Upgrade to Business Premium?

Microsoft 365 Business Standard offers excellent tools like:

• Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
• Professional email hosting
• Microsoft Teams for communication
• OneDrive for cloud storage and file access

These features are great—until your business outgrows them. As your operations expand, so do the risks: evolving cyber threats, hybrid workforce challenges, and the need for airtight data protection. Business Premium isn’t just an upgrade; it’s the solution for businesses that want to stay one step ahead.

Consider these three necessary benefits that come with Business Premium:

Advanced Threat Protection

Let’s say a phishing email hits your inbox. With Business Standard, basic antivirus software might not be enough. But Business Premium includes Microsoft Defender for Business, which actively scans for threats, detecting and neutralizing ransomware or phishing attacks before they cause harm.

Simplified Device Management

Managing multiple devices across a team can feel overwhelming. Business Premium’s Microsoft Intune gives you control over all devices accessing your network. You can secure data, set restrictions, and even remotely wipe lost or stolen devices.

Enhanced Data Privacy

Every business handles sensitive information, from client contracts to financial records. Business Premium’s Purview Information Protection automatically classifies sensitive data and ensures it stays secure—even if shared outside your company.

Real-World Scenarios: Why It Matters

Here are some day-to-day challenges your business might face and how Business Premium provides practical solutions to keep your operations secure and running smoothly:

Phishing Attack

An employee clicks on a fake email, unleashing malware. Business Premium’s Microsoft Defender stops the spread, minimizing downtime and damage.

Lost Device

Let’s say a laptop is left on a train. With Business Premium, you can remotely wipe it, ensuring sensitive data stays protected.

Ex-Employee Access

If a staff member leaves your company, Business Premium lets you revoke access to their credentials instantly, preventing potential misuse.

Sharing Sensitive Files

Need to send confidential client files? Business Premium ensures only authorized users can access or share them—even outside your network.

Acroment Can Help You Future-Proof Your Business

As your business grows, so do the stakes. Microsoft 365 Business Premium equips you to protect your data, empower your team, and maintain a competitive edge. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a strategic investment in your business’s future.
