Securing your Microsoft 365 data is your responsibility

FACT: To embrace the world of online work, growing numbers of enterprises are using the world’s top productivity platform, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), to go remote.

FACT: The ownership, accountability and protection of Microsoft 365 data rests with your organisation. The onus is on your technology leads to ensure data security, privacy and retention.

FACT: Did you know that 60% of sensitive cloud data is stored in Microsoft documents, and 75% is NOT backed up?

Be secure. With Backup as a Service that’s fast. Simple. Safe.

The cost of business interruption can be catastrophic. This is the very reason enterprises put backup procedures in place.

Backup is your responsibility

While Microsoft supplies infrastructure and best-effort availability to keep your applications and data running, your organisation has responsibilities too. The ownership, accountability and protection of Microsoft 365 data rests with your organisation.

But you’re not alone. Most of our customers are now realising that securing data is their responsibility. For instance, did you know that 60% of sensitive cloud data is stored in Office documents, and 75% is not backed up?

Telefónica Tech brings you the simplest solution: Backup as a Service by Veeam from Telefónica Tech. Restoring a virtual machine and data can now take mere minutes.

The intelligent solution

Our Backup as a Service offering is built on HPE’s intelligent compute foundation for unmatched workload optimisation, security and automation. HPE simplifies and automates management tasks, and establishes a solid foundation for an open, hybrid cloud platform. Then there’s the unmatched server automation, server security, server optimisation and built-in intelligence of HPE ProLiant servers. This is foundational for all remote work.

Growing security challenges

Data centres are under increasing threat.

These are just some of the areas of vulnerability organisations must prepare for. And when data is lost, the longer it takes to restore, the more it costs – in time, opportunity cost and reputation.

Take responsibility for your data

In recent customer research, we discovered that some 80% of businesses rely on Microsoft 365—formerly Office 365—as a business suite. Most assume that their data is safe from deletion, corruption or attack because it’s in the cloud—but this is not the case.

Microsoft duplicates data across servers to provide redundancy and a seamless, uninterrupted service—but this is not a backup. If you need full back up for compliance, insurance or regulatory requirements, you may not be covered.

For example, if a file in your OneDrive is deleted, overwritten or corrupted, that action is automatically duplicated on the cloud server. There is no way to revert to a previous version. The same applies to deleted Outlook email, and messages in Teams.

The confident, secure solution

Telefónica Tech recommends Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. It works in the background, automatically creating incremental backups that allow one to travel back in time to recover documents, messages or emails that have been deleted or overwritten. Incremental backups allow for everything from recovery of a single file to replacing an entire installation and, in the case of major disaster, rebuilding your entire system on new hardware.
