Enhance Business Premium security deals with a new CSP partner promotion

Build a 7.5% promotion into qualifying Business Premium security quotes beginning October 1, 2026.

Impacted audience

Eligible CSP direct bill partners and distributors selling Defender Suite or Purview Suite for Business Premium to customers with fewer than 300 seats

Starting October 1, 2026, Microsoft is introducing a 7.5% promotional Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) pricing for eligible partners offering Microsoft Defender Suite for Business Premium and Microsoft Purview Suite for Business Premium to eligible customers with fewer than 300 seats.

Eligible CSP distributors and direct bill partners receive promotional pricing that they can build directly into quoting and pricing. If eligible, you decide how to reflect that pricing in your offer, giving you greater flexibility to compete, manage deal economics, and expand your small and medium-sized business (SMB) security business.

The promotion also broadens access beyond the partner groups covered by the previous rebate to eligible CSP direct bill partners and distributors.

The Microsoft Commercial Partner Incentives Guide governs eligibility, availability, and terms.

Next steps

• Review the CSP promotion guide for eligibility and terms.
• Identify qualifying Business Premium opportunities with fewer than 300 seats in your customer base.
• Update sales and quoting guidance so teams can apply the 7.5% promotion starting October 1, 2026. Partners that don't prepare risk using outdated rebate-based processes, missing eligible opportunities, or quoting the promotion incorrectly.
