What are the minimum license need for the office 365 secure score points
An overview is not that easy as there are many subscriptions to chose from. It depends on your size, organisation, industry even ... In short however :
Office 365 subscriptions = provide the usage rights of the products and some security features.
EM+S subscriptions = are purely focused on security services.
Windows subscriptions = allow the installation of windows editions + Windows Defender ATP
M365 subscriptions = combine all three types I mentioned above. These are the Rolls Royce versions.
Some services can be added as standalone products as well. But again it all depends on:
- Company or industry (education, government, commercial, ...)
- Contract type (CSP, EA, open license, ...)
- Size (smaller then 300 users or bigger)
What you can do however, is start a free trial with some of those highest subscriptions. Then you have everything enabled during the trial period. Some trials are valid for 90 days and 50 users, others are 30 days and 25 users. Just look for trial with combination of the desired type of subscription.
That's how I do it for testing and evaluation.
There is a slider on the page like you can see in the screenshot. It's on "balanced" and that results in a few action items by default. Move it all the way to your right side and the setting will indicate "agressive". The maximum score is the score of the subscriptions you have. So if you're license includes EM+S E5 or even M365 E5, the score will go higher then the one in the screenshot.
An overview of the M365 plans (which are the highest) is here :

Thanks for the overview.
I guess because you provided me that link , there is no link with the same overview of the Complete total secure score points with their minimum licencing.
