• Do you have control of your Microsoft 365 data? Do you have access to all the items you need? The knee-jerk reaction is typically, “Of course I do,” or “Microsoft takes care of it all.” But if you really think about it — are you sure? Microsoft takes care of quite a bit. They provide a great service for their customers, managing Microsoft 365’s infrastructure and maintaining uptime for your users. But on the flip side, they are empowering YOU with the responsibility of your data. There is a common misconception that Microsoft backs up your data on your behalf by default, but a comprehensive backup of your data is not included in a standard Microsoft 365 license. Without a shift in mindset, there could be damaging repercussions when this responsibility is left unattended
• The misunderstanding falls between Microsoft’s perceived responsibility and the user’s actual responsibility regarding the protection and longterm retention of their Microsoft 365 data. The resiliency and retention provided by Microsoft in a standard Microsoft 365 license and what users assume they are getting are often different. Meaning, aside from the standard precautions Microsoft 365 has in place, you may need to re-assess the level of control you have of your data and how much access you truly have to it.
• As a robust and highly capable Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, Microsoft 365 fits the needs of many organizations perfectly. Microsoft 365 provides application availability and uptime to ensure your users never skip a beat. But a comprehensive backup solution can protect you against many other security threats, providing peace of mind and robust data protection.
