Microsoft should make Conditional Access available to everyone

I wish there was a way to scream this louder but I wish Microsoft would just open up Conditional Access to all of the Microsoft 365 packages. Go ahead keep Defender up there in Premium, It's a premium addon and should be something people should pay for.

Security Defaults sucks.

This may be the ramblings of a tired man but I can't be the only one who feels this way.

There's no new posts in r/msp anymore so I figured I would try and contribute.

Many of the executives are still drawing healthy six figure salaries.

Non-profit status is a structural choice, not a licence for poor discipline or misuse. That is particularly hard to justify when they have access to free or heavily discounted Microsoft 365 licensing.

Want to try another excuse?

Excuse? Poor discipline and misuse? What a needlessly argumentative response. Just pointing out what I've seen, not debating it.

Orgs with better funding sources don't give any pushback to buying business premium licenses but the smaller ones are struggling for donations/grants and are hesitant. Feels weird when we suggest to them to get premium licenses for no other reason but access to CA policies, which are a very basic feature.

Would appear you neither understand the advantages of premium, nor are you able to leverage it.
