Entra ID P2 and Defender for Endpoint P2 now available in Cloud Solution Program.
- Impacted audience
- CSP authorized partners
As a Microsoft Partner, you can now upsell Entra ID P2 and Defender for Endpoint P2 to existing Microsoft 365 E3 customers through CSP using incremental, programmatic step up pricing; the same pricing model previously available through EA and MCA E motions. These new CSP SKUs remove pricing friction and eliminate the need for complex escalations. Partners can more easily attach advanced identity and endpoint security, increase deal velocity, and capture incremental security revenue directly in CSP; without losing momentum or business to other channels.
This motion is intentionally guided and targeted. It's designed for Microsoft 365 E3 customers who aren't yet ready for Security Suites or Microsoft 365 E5 but have a clear need to strengthen identity protection and endpoint security today. It also preserves a natural growth path to broader security suites as customer needs evolve.
Key benefits for partners
- Lower barriers to upsell with reduced, incremental pricing in CSP
- Protection against capability loss when transitioning customers from EA to CSP
- A clear attach motion aligned to how customers already buy Microsoft 365 E3
- Faster deal closure without channel conflict, pricing delays, or lost opportunities
When to use this motion: Customers licensed for Microsoft 365 E3 who aren't currently adopting Security Suites or Microsoft 365 E5, but need immediate improvements in identity or endpoint security.
Don't use when: Customers are already a strong fit for Security Suites or Microsoft 365 E5 today
