Choosing between Security defaults and Conditional Access

Azure AD offers the Security defaults feature to offer default security settings for any Azure AD tenant. For administrators of tenants with Azure AD Premium licenses, using Conditional Access offers more flexibility in some respects. This recipe shows how to decide between using Security defaults and Conditional Access.

Getting ready

To make a choice on which to use, you'll need to know the following characteristics of your organization:

Has your organization assigned Azure AD Premium P1 licenses to all people in scope for security measures?
Has your organization assigned Azure AD Premium P2 licenses to all people in scope for security measures?
Does your organization use any applications, services, and/or systems that rely on user accounts in Azure AD instead of security principals?
