This blog explains five essential security, compliance and availability capabilities built into Office 365. These capabilities provide excellent value to Office 365 users, and there is no reason for you not to leverage them. However, these features were not purpose-built to be a backup solution, so there are gaps and trade-offs to consider if you want to use them for backup. Microsoft makes strategic business decisions about where to invest in certain features. They have chosen not to invest in a purpose-built Office 365 backup solution. They have left this gap for their strategic partners, like Veeam, to fill. Read more

Data security is easy on a conceptual level: Protect your data while maintaining availability. This means protecting your data from malicious outside forces and restricting access to that data based on user roles. For example, someone in sales does not need access to the HR financial and disciplinary records and vice versa. Also, consider that no protection is perfect or impervious to attacks.

Locking down a network is equally as important as educating your users and encrypting data. Read more

And not only that, try to remember a case when the car broke NOT at the moment when you needed it most. All this means that without preventive maintenance, you are increasing your chances of losing money, time and maybe getting a couple of new grey hairs. Read more
