Data sheet
Microsoft 365 & Azure without the licensing guesswork.
What palmiq actually manages across Microsoft 365 and Azure — identity, endpoints, security baselines and the licensing decisions that quietly determine what you can enforce.
Data sheet · 2 pages · PDF
- You are paying for licenses and unsure which features you are entitled to.
- Your tenant was set up years ago and nobody has revisited the defaults.
- You need GCC High or a compliance boundary for regulated work.
- You want one provider for identity, endpoints and email security.

What is inside
Everything it covers
- 01 Licensing tiers side by side — Business Premium, E3, E5 — and what each unlocks
- 02 Identity: conditional access, MFA enforcement and the break-glass account
- 03 Intune for endpoint management and app protection
- 04 Defender coverage, and where a third-party tool is still worth having
- 05 Email security, and why the built-in filter is not the whole answer
- 06 Azure GCC High: when regulated work requires it and what changes
- 07 Backup — the part Microsoft does not do for you
Why licensing is on a technical data sheet
Because it is a technical constraint, not a finance detail. Half the security controls people ask us to implement are gated behind a license tier — planning a baseline without knowing what you are entitled to wastes a project.
Questions
Before you download
- Do we need E5?
- Often not. Business Premium covers a great deal, and E3 plus targeted add-ons is frequently cheaper than E5 for organizations that will not use half of it. We size this properly rather than defaulting upward.
- Can you take over an existing tenant?
- Yes. We start with a security and licensing review, which usually surfaces both risk and spend worth recovering.
- Is Microsoft 365 sufficient for CMMC?
- Commercial Microsoft 365 generally is not for CUI. That is what GCC High exists for, and the data sheet explains the boundary.
