After March 2026, Message Defence will officially reach its end of life and be switched off.
To ensure your business remains protected, we recommend moving to Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
Business Premium is a complete productivity and security suite with built-in email protection. By switching, you will benefit from:
Advanced spam filtering that adapts in real time to new threats
Phishing detection and prevention to protect staff from scams
Zero-hour auto purge to remove dangerous emails from inboxes even after delivery
Seamless integration with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive
Full access to Office apps and advanced security controls in one cost-effective package
We will manage the migration for you, ensuring your business experiences minimal disruption while making the most of the enhanced protection and productivity tools.
Switching from Message Defence to Microsoft 365 Business Premium is not just replacing an email filter, it is upgrading your whole approach to security and productivity.
We review your setup, create a tailored migration plan, manage the technical switch from start to finish and provide training so your team can hit the ground running.
With Message Defence reaching its end in March 2026, starting now avoids last-minute disruption and lets you benefit from a smarter, stronger security suite straight away.
