Microsoft Office 365 Backup

Talk to an Expert

Trusted by Global Brands

According to a research, email and collaboration represent the most mature business processes within SaaS, with a staggering adoption rate of 61%. Microsoft Office 365 stands out as one of the foremost SaaS products, experiencing rapid adoption and expanding usage beyond Exchange to encompass services like SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. While Office 365 swiftly assumes the role of the cornerstone for business productivity, the establishment of a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy often remains overlooked.

Among Office 365 users surveyed, a notable 60% lack a data protection plan for their Office 365 environments or solely rely on Microsoft's native capabilities. It's evident that many misconstrue Microsoft's availability Service Level Agreements (SLAs) as adequate substitutes for robust backup strategies.

Irrespective of whether data resides on-premises or within cloud infrastructure/SaaS platforms like Office 365, the ultimate responsibility for data protection rests with the customer or data owner. Embracing Office 365 without implementing enterprise-grade backup solutions constitutes a risky approach that leaves critical data vulnerable to loss or compromise.

RATIONALE FOR IMPLEMENTING BACKUPS:

1
Data loss and security breaches: Office 365 is susceptible to security breaches, including both internal threats such as accidental data deletion or actions by disgruntled employees, and external threats like malware or ransomware. IDC research from 2018 revealed that 69% of organizations experienced successful malware attacks within 12 months, with 39% involving ransomware. Nearly half (49%) of organizations encountered unrecoverable data events in the past three years. Implementing an enterprise-grade backup strategy provides enterprises with the capability to recover from security breaches through granular recovery options.
2
Retention and regulatory compliance exposures: Microsoft's 90-day retention policy falls short of meeting the more stringent data retention regulations prevalent in certain industries like financial services, healthcare, retail, and government. Third-party backup solutions enable organizations to establish their own retention policies tailored to their business requirements, ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks such as European data regulations.
3
Lack of data control in hybrid deployments: Comprehensive oversight and control of data represent a top priority at the boardroom level and serve as the initial step toward adopting a data-driven approach. Without backup solutions in place, organizations lack an exit strategy and remain bound by SaaS lock-in, as they relinquish complete control over their data.
