Most organisations want stronger security and better control of Microsoft 365 costs, yet many miss the value already sitting inside their licences. When Flyte reviews an environment, we often find high‑value security features that have never been switched on. Those unused tools lead to unnecessary third‑party products, duplicated spend and a weaker security position than expected.
Our job is to help you change that by showing you exactly what you already own and how to get more from it.
Why organisations turn to Flyte
Microsoft has built powerful security capabilities into Business Premium, E3 and E5. The challenge is knowing what to enable, how to configure it safely and how it fits into the wider environment.
When Flyte reviews a tenant, the same issues come up repeatedly:
- Defender for Office 365 included in the licence but left disabled
- Conditional Access set up partially, leaving identity gaps
- Data Loss Prevention avoided because it looks complex at first glance
These aren’t technology problems. They’re time problems. Internal teams are busy, so optimisation slips down the list.
One customer had used the same third‑party email filtering tool for years. Their Secure Score had been static for a long time. By enabling Defender features already included in their licences, their security posture improved significantly and the duplicated tool was no longer required.
This kind of outcome is common. The value is already there. It simply needs unlocking.
Clarity on Microsoft 365 licence tiers
Confusion around Business Premium, E3 and E5 leads many organisations to overspend. Flyte helps teams understand the practical differences between them so they can make the right decision.
Business Premium
Stronger security than many expect, including Intune, Conditional Access and Defender for Office 365.
E3
A solid baseline, but many never activate the security tools included and rely on third‑party products instead.
E5
Advanced analytics and deeper protection, but usually only necessary for specific roles or high‑risk teams.
A one‑size‑fits‑all licence model rarely delivers value. Flyte matches licences to real user needs so you only pay for what you truly use.
Where Flyte identifies and eliminates waste
Microsoft 365 audits consistently reveal avoidable spend. Flyte helps organisations find and address the three most common causes.
1. Duplicated tools
Third‑party MFA, MDM, DLP and email filtering often replicate capability already included in Microsoft 365.
2. Unused or misassigned licences
Licences sitting on accounts for people who left the business months ago.
3. Underused security features
Capabilities such as Conditional Access, DLP and Defender that could be enabled quickly but never are.
Research from Microsoft highlights how identity‑based attacks continue to rise, yet Conditional Access adoption remains low.

Microsoft also shows how enabling key Defender features significantly reduces phishing risk.

The data supports what we see every day. Most organisations do not need more tools. They need to activate what they already have.
