Every Microsoft 365 plan, from frontline F1 and F3 up to E7, includes real security capability. The gap is rarely the license. It is the time and the people to deploy, tune, watch, and remediate what the license already gives you. Senserva sits on top of whatever Microsoft 365 plan you own and turns built-in security into monitored, measured, and remediated security. Here is what that looks like at each tier.
Microsoft sells a deep security platform across frontline, Business, E3, E5, and the top E7 tier. Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Defender, Intune, Entra ID Protection, and Purview are powerful, and most teams already own more capability than they have ever switched on. What is missing is the operational layer: someone to read the posture, prioritize what matters, map it to the frameworks auditors ask about, and ship the fix.
That is the layer Senserva adds. It reads your tenant through Microsoft's own APIs, with no third-party agent, then brings configuration, identity, devices, patch, and logs into one connected model, ranked by Severity with a validated remediation attached. Wherever you sit in the Microsoft 365 lineup, the table below shows what Senserva turns on top of it.
Microsoft gives you the capability. Senserva helps you operationalize it. Wherever you are in the Microsoft 365 lineup, Senserva turns built-in security into monitored, measured, and remediated security.
| Microsoft 365 license | What Microsoft includes | Where teams get stuck | What Senserva adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontline and kiosk (F1, F3, S1) |
Frontline and kiosk seats. F3 includes Entra ID P1, so Conditional Access is available, with Intune device management on shared and mobile devices. | Shared and kiosk devices are easy to leave unmonitored, and Conditional Access and identity hygiene on frontline accounts are often overlooked. | Conditional Access and identity analysis on frontline accounts, plus Intune device and compliance checks on the shared and kiosk devices these seats use. |
| Business (Basic, Standard, Premium) |
Core Microsoft 365 productivity. Business Premium adds Entra ID P1 (Conditional Access), Defender for Business, and Intune Plan 1. | Basic and Standard have no Conditional Access and go unmonitored. Premium's perimeter goes underused for lack of time to deploy and tune it. | Conditional Access and configuration analysis across Microsoft 365, Defender, and Intune, drift detection, compliance mapping, and validated remediation, with a clear path up from Basic and Standard. |
| Microsoft 365 E3 | Enterprise perimeter with Entra ID P1 (Conditional Access), Defender for Endpoint P1, and Intune Plan 1. PIM and Identity Protection need the Entra ID P2 upsell. | Conditional Access is rarely fully tuned, and the missing P2 controls leave privileged access (PIM) and identity risk unmanaged. | Full Conditional Access analysis, patch and CVE intelligence, log analysis, and prioritized remediation across E3, with clear flags where PIM and Identity Protection would close real gaps. |
| Microsoft 365 E5 | Entra ID P2: Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Identity Protection, plus the Defender suite and Purview. | The controls are licensed, but PIM roles, Conditional Access, and risk policies still need to be configured, watched, and proven. | Full Conditional Access and PIM analysis (eligible vs active roles, role policies, and alerts), Identity Protection and Purview coverage, with the remediation layer that closes the gap between finding and fix. |
| Microsoft 365 E7 (top tier) |
Everything in E5 (Entra ID P2 with Conditional Access and PIM, the Defender XDR suite, Purview), plus Microsoft 365 Copilot, the full Entra Suite (Private Access, Internet Access, Verified ID, ID Governance), and Agent 365 for governing enterprise AI agents. | The broadest tier, and the hardest to govern. Copilot, AI agents, and Zero Trust access controls each add new configuration and risk surface to keep audit-ready. | Full-stack posture across identity, Conditional Access, PIM, devices, patch, logs, and Purview, plus Copilot and AI agent configuration scanning, with AI-validated remediation and audit evidence, so even E7's new Copilot, Agent 365, and Entra Suite surface is operated end to end. |
Conditional Access requires Entra ID P1 (Business Premium, E3, E5, E7, and frontline F3). Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and Identity Protection require Entra ID P2 (E5 and E7, or as an add-on). These are the controls that gate privileged access and stop risky sign-ins, and they are common upsells. Senserva analyzes Conditional Access and PIM wherever they are licensed, and flags where they are missing or unused, so you can see exactly what security a higher Entra tier would unlock before you pay for it.
