What we manage for you
Microsoft 365 management and support for your daily work
Microsoft 365 administration is ongoing work. Employees join and leave, licenses change and staff need help accessing email and files. We handle those tasks alongside your security settings. Your proposal defines the support, administration and protection included in your service.
Employee accounts and access
We set up accounts for new employees, adjust access when roles change and remove access when someone leaves. We coordinate these changes with your business so employees have the access they need and former employees do not retain it.
Licenses and mailbox management
We manage license assignments, shared mailbox access and email permissions. When your team changes, we review what needs to be added, reassigned or removed and explain the options before making changes.
Microsoft 365 user support
When staff cannot sign in, open a shared mailbox or access a business file, we help troubleshoot the problem. Your team has a place to ask for help with Outlook, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint.
Ongoing security management
We maintain account protections, email security and device access policies as your business changes. Administration and security work together so a new employee, a replacement laptop or a change in responsibilities does not leave an access gap.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Microsoft 365 for businesses that need more than email and Office apps
Business Premium combines the Microsoft tools your staff already knows with security for accounts, computers, email, company data, and the devices used to access it.
If your business already uses Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint, Business Premium keeps those familiar tools and adds security capabilities that Business Standard does not include.
Those additional tools include Microsoft Defender for Business, Microsoft Entra ID P1 with Conditional Access, Microsoft Intune, and Defender for Office 365 Plan 1. You do not need to know how each product works. Our role is to configure them around how your business operates, keep them maintained, and respond when something needs attention.
Which plan fits
Business Standard vs Business Premium
Both plans give your staff the everyday Microsoft 365 tools. Business Premium adds the security and device controls most businesses expect from a professionally managed environment.
| What your business gets | Business Standard | Business Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Office apps, business email, OneDrive, Teams | Yes | Yes |
| Protection for employee accounts | Limited | Yes - Entra ID P1 and Conditional Access |
| Protection for business computers | No | Yes - Defender for Business |
| Device management | No | Yes - Microsoft Intune |
| Additional phishing and email protection | Limited | Yes - Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 |
| Best fit | Businesses that mainly need productivity tools | Businesses that want productivity and stronger security in one Microsoft 365 plan |
For most of the small businesses we work with, the reason to move from Business Standard to Business Premium is not another Office feature. It is the ability to better protect accounts, devices, email, and company data from the same Microsoft 365 environment.
What we manage for you
Microsoft 365 security for accounts, email and devices
The Microsoft product names matter less than the problems they solve. These are the protections we put to work for your business.
Protect employee accounts when passwords are stolen
Multi-factor authentication adds another check beyond the password. Conditional Access lets us go further by setting rules around how people sign in and what devices are allowed to reach company data. These controls are powered by Microsoft Entra ID P1, but from your perspective the goal is simple: a stolen password should not automatically become access to your business.
Protect business computers from ransomware and malware
Microsoft Defender for Business is included with Business Premium. We deploy it, configure the policies, and monitor what it reports. If a computer starts behaving suspiciously, the goal is to identify the problem early and respond before one compromised device turns into a larger business interruption.
Reduce phishing and protect company information
We harden Microsoft 365 email security and use Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 to help identify malicious links, attachments, and phishing attempts. We also configure practical controls around OneDrive and SharePoint so sensitive company information is less likely to be exposed through an accidental share or an unsafe sign-in.
Keep company data protected on laptops and phones
Microsoft Intune helps us manage the devices that access your Microsoft 365 data. We can require company devices to meet security standards, deploy settings and applications, and place controls around business data on supported personal devices. For the business owner, this means access is based on defined rules instead of simply trusting every laptop or phone that knows a password.
Microsoft 365 backup
Microsoft 365 still needs an independent backup
Microsoft provides a highly available cloud platform, but availability is not the same thing as having a separate copy of your business data. Accidental deletion, account compromise, ransomware, and employee actions can all create situations where you need to recover information.
Wolferdawg IT Consulting can back up Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data to an independent backup service. That gives your business another recovery path when the copy inside Microsoft 365 is not enough. You can also read more about our backup and disaster recovery services.
Microsoft 365 data we can protect
- Email and mailbox data
- OneDrive files
- SharePoint sites and files
- Microsoft Teams data
- Calendars and contacts
Getting started
Already using Microsoft 365? We can start with what you have.
If you already have Business Premium, we can review the tenant, identify gaps, and build a plan to bring the security settings under active management.
If you are moving from Business Standard, Business Basic, Google Workspace, or an older email system, we can also help with licensing, migration, setup, and the security configuration that follows. The goal is to make the transition without turning it into a project your staff has to figure out on their own.
Pricing
What does Microsoft 365 management cost?
Microsoft licenses Business Premium per user. Wolferdawg IT Consulting can bundle licensing, configuration, ongoing management, security monitoring, backup, and support into a monthly service.
The cost depends on your number of users and the services your business needs. We scope the environment first and provide a clear monthly proposal.
Frequently asked questions
Microsoft 365 management and security questions
Answers about ongoing support, security, licensing and Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
What is included in managed Microsoft 365 services?
Wolferdawg IT Consulting can manage employee accounts, license assignments, mailbox access, user support, security settings and independent backup. Your proposal defines which services are included. Business Premium supplies the Microsoft tools; our service covers the work to configure, maintain and support them.
Can you manage Microsoft 365 if we already have licenses?
Yes. If your business already uses Microsoft 365 Business Premium, we can review your existing setup and plan the administration, support and security work it needs. If you use another plan, we review your requirements and explain any recommended licensing changes before moving forward.
What is Microsoft 365 Business Premium?
Microsoft 365 Business Premium combines the Microsoft 365 apps your staff uses every day with security and device-management tools designed for small businesses. It includes Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Microsoft Defender for Business, Microsoft Entra ID P1 with Conditional Access, Microsoft Intune, and Defender for Office 365 Plan 1. Microsoft limits Business Premium to 300 users.
What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Business Premium?
Business Standard gives you the core Microsoft 365 productivity apps, business email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Business Premium adds security for employee accounts and computers, better phishing protection, and tools for managing the devices that access company data. For a business that wants Microsoft 365 to be part of its security strategy, Business Premium is the stronger fit.
Does Microsoft 365 Business Premium protect us automatically?
Not completely. The license gives you the security tools, but many of them still need to be configured, enforced, monitored, and adjusted. Wolferdawg IT Consulting handles that work for managed clients so protections such as MFA, Conditional Access, Defender for Business, Intune, and email security are actually being used rather than simply included in the subscription.
Do we still need third-party backup with Microsoft 365 Business Premium?
Yes. Microsoft 365 includes retention and recovery features, but those are not the same as an independent backup. Wolferdawg IT Consulting can back up Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data separately so the business has another recovery option after accidental deletion, account compromise, ransomware, or other data-loss events.
How much does managed Microsoft 365 Business Premium cost?
Microsoft licenses Business Premium per user. Wolferdawg IT Consulting can combine the Microsoft 365 licensing with configuration, ongoing management, security monitoring, backup, and user support as part of a monthly service. The actual managed cost depends on the number of users and the services included, so we provide a scoped proposal instead of a one-size-fits-all price.
Is Microsoft 365 Business Premium HIPAA compliant?
Microsoft 365 Business Premium can be configured to support HIPAA requirements, and Microsoft offers a Business Associate Agreement for covered services. The license by itself does not make a business HIPAA compliant. Compliance also depends on how access, security, logging, retention, policies, employee training, and the organization's risk assessment are handled.
