Protect Your Critical Microsoft 365™ Business Data

With over 300 million active users, the widespread use of Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration and document management makes data protection a critical need.

Backing Up Your Microsoft 365 Data

Though Microsoft 365 provides built-in data protection, it does not fully cover all scenarios. There are several common reasons that your institution should consider implementing strong backups, including:

• Accidental deletion: If a user or administrator accidentally deletes a folder with critical documents in it, are you able to retrieve it? Having a supplemental backup in place helps prevent these issues and saves you a headache down the line.
• Retention gaps: Microsoft retains email data for active users, but what if you need critical information from a former employee’s inbox? Backups ensure you don’t have to worry about coordinating mailbox sharing—you’ll have access to critical data when an employee leaves.
• Insider threats: While rare, employees maliciously deleting necessary files could happen. A secondary data backup prevents the permanent loss of data.
• External threats: From breached credentials to ransomware, your institution faces of variety of external threats. Strong backups protect your data from cybercriminals who regularly target users of cloud services.
• Legal and compliance reasons: Backing up Microsoft 365 data is currently a regulatory recommendation for financial institutions, but could become a requirement.

Having an independent backup solution ensures that your critical data is always protected and recoverable, minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.

CSI’s Microsoft 365 Cloud Backup solution is tailored to the unique challenges and data types within Microsoft 365, offering a more efficient and cost-effective way to ensure data protection and compliance.
