- Reports - out of the 16 cards available, only 1 (one!) shows any data.
- Classification - just what we got in https://protection.office.com
- Policies - just links to https://protection.office.com

Chris Hallum Comment? Maybe the thought behind this portal is not to add much value for E3 customers but rather just E5 customers?
