If Your Business Relies On Accessing Data Stored In Microsoft 365 - This Is A Must-Read...

It is rare to find a business that doesn't depend on Microsoft 365 in today's business world, whether that be for emailing in Outlook or storage on Sharepoint. The importance of backing up data stored in SaaS applications, especially Microsoft 365 - is absolutely critical to business continuity.

The Top 2 Risks Of Using Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is responsible for providing access to your critical business data at any time, from anywhere - offering employers huge benefits in terms of scalability, productivity, flexibility and cost savings. Here's two of the biggest risk it brings:

1. Compliance

2. Data Security

Does Microsoft Protect or Backup Your Data?

It’s essential to understand the ‘Shared Responsibility Model’ under which SaaS vendors operate. Whilst Microsoft commits to offering you a seamless experience in terms of how the system functions, they pass on data security and management obligations to their customers – so in this case that’s your business.

To be specific Microsoft's agreement states:

In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve your content or data that you stored. We recommend that you regularly back up content and data that you store on the services we provide.

Data loss can occur from human error, intentional deletion or external security threats. Microsoft 365 doesn't provide solutions to include long-term data retention, point-in-time recovery, and compliance/litigation-friendly backups. This means a third-party back up solution is ESSENTIAL.

Where Is The Business Case?

1. Business Continuity. With a comprehensive third-party backup solution in place, your data can no longer be wiped out or encrypted by ransomware for good.

2. Compliance. Many industries are required to store, archive and backup data according to industry regulations. A cloud backup solution includes point-in-time recovery, meaning there is no risk of you failing compliance checks.

3. Cost. From just £2 per user per month, you can ensure your data stored on Microsoft 365 (and other SaaS applications such as Salesforce and Google Workspace) is full recoverable.

If Microsoft 365 is an essential tool used within your business - as it is for millions of others - it will play such an instrumental role that you simply can't afford not back up the data.
