Access to Premium Assessment Template
Can we activate E5 Compliance in our tenant to get access to this premium assessment template? But, as per the license requirement we should be in M365 E3 or to upgrade to m365 E5 straight away, but that is double our Op-Ex, because Team license and defender for office 365 plan 1 need to add additionally for M365 E3. In Small Business Licensing pdf Microsoft says E5 Info protection and gov & Insider threat add-on license can be added (AIP Plan1 is already part of Premium License) which is almost equal to E5 Compliance license (that include endpoint DLP). Is it mandatory to upgrade to M365 E5 or M365 E3 with E5 compliance to get the premium templates and entire compliance requirements to fulfilled?
Or can we add the E5 add-ons supported for SMB licensing (E5 Information Protection & Governance and Microsoft 365 E5 Insider Risk Management) to access and achieve this assessment requirement?
Look forward to hearing from you a valid comments or feedback how do we go ahead with the licensing. Appreciate your response.

RECAP: The Objective is to enable the Data Governance features across M365 and on-premises file server AIP auto-labeling, and bring the insights, implement DLP other insder risk management controls, communication compliance etc. Run a GDPR compliance assessment in our organization.
The article gives the score into the GDPR compliance assessment to give the report, fundamentally we need to get the premium assessment template space along with these controls in place to do the assessment in reality with governance features.
Question here is, which is the least licensing add-ons suits for us to conduct this GDPR compliance assessment with least licensing, by keeping Business Premium license and other Add-ons to enable the features like Endpoint DLP, Data Governance and Data Mapping including on-premises file shares bring into the scope of audit).
Is it mandatory for us to upgrade to M365 E5 or M365 E3 with E5 compliance from existing Business Premium to get the premium templates and entire compliance requirements to fulfilled?
Or can we add any E5 add-ons supported for SMB licensing (E5 Information Protection & Governance and Microsoft 365 E5 Insider Risk Management) to achieve this assessment and access to GDRP asessement template in the compliance manager section? Or a stand-alone Premium Assessment license works with any type of base license Office 365 or M365 when the controls are enabled with E5 Info Protection & Governance +Insider Risk management combined add-on supported for Business Premium customers. Can you clarify these.
