Backup & Disaster Recovery
Microsoft 365 backup, business continuity planning, and disaster recovery validation.
Backup validated and recovery tested. Not just configured.
Microsoft 365 provides service resilience, not data protection. Accidental deletion, ransomware, and malicious insider actions can permanently destroy Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams data beyond Microsoft’s native retention windows. Nineteen infrastructure risks in our register have an availability dimension. A validated backup and recovery strategy, tested under realistic failure conditions, is what separates organisations that recover in hours from those that lose weeks of work.
