Protecting business-critical data
Safeguarding the Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive data your business runs on.
Managed Cloud Services
Microsoft 365 Backup Services
Microsoft 365 keeps your business running, but native retention isn't a backup. We add dedicated protection, proactive monitoring and fast recovery across Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
Understanding the problem
The real problem usually appears after data has gone
Businesses depend on Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration and file storage, but cloud storage alone doesn't guarantee full data protection. A deleted mailbox, a lost SharePoint file or a ransomware attack can halt operations when there's no dedicated recovery strategy.
Microsoft 365's native features were never designed to replace a dedicated backup. We close that gap with reliable backup, proactive monitoring and fast recovery, built around how your teams actually work.
Common data risks we uncover
- Reliance only on Microsoft's native retention features
- Exchange Online mailboxes without dedicated backup
- SharePoint and Teams data that can't be easily recovered
- Inconsistent recovery policies across departments
- Limited reporting on backup success and recovery readiness
- Business information exposed to accidental deletion or ransomware

Case study
Protecting a growing financial services business after Microsoft 365 migration
The problem: Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive were central to operations, but the business relied entirely on Microsoft's native retention. After accidental deletions, management recognised the need for dedicated backup to support long-term continuity.
Our action: we reviewed the Microsoft 365 environment, identified where critical information lived, and implemented dedicated backup across Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, with backup monitoring, recovery validation and multi-factor authentication.

Good to know
Microsoft 365 backup FAQs
Microsoft 365 includes retention features, but they weren't designed to replace a dedicated backup. A deleted mailbox, a lost SharePoint file or a ransomware attack can leave you without a reliable way to recover, which is exactly the gap dedicated backup closes.
We provide dedicated backup for Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, covering the email, files, records and conversations your teams rely on every day.
We monitor backups continuously and validate recovery, so you have ongoing confidence in backup health and recovery readiness, rather than finding out only when something goes wrong.
Dedicated backup means faster restoration of critical data. We provide practical recovery support to minimise disruption and restore team access quickly.
