SaaS Protection for Microsoft 365
Data Protection in the Cloud
What is SiRON SaaS Protection?
SiRON SaaS Protection ensures data in Microsoft 365 will be
protected against all forms of data loss. SiRON SaaS Protection
is able to restore or export important files, emails and
SharePoint content that can be lost due to human error, app
outages, ransomware or other malicious attacks.
Additional benefits of the product include the ability to easily
move files from one employee to another, reduce costs
associated with departed employees and give your MSP
business peace of mind knowing your clients’ data is easily
recoverable via a web-based UI.
Limitations of Microsoft’s Restore:
- When targeting an existing folder or sub-folder to send recovered data, live data is often overwritten by the restore function
- Hierarchy and document permissions are not maintained when restoring OneDrive and SharePoint Sites
- Site Collections are kept in the tenant recycle bin and can be restored within 30 days after deletion
- All objects consisting of documents, list items, subsites, lists, libraries, etc. are retained for 93 days after deletion
- OneDrive for Business has the same 93 day retention period for deleted items after deletion
- User data is retained for only 30 days following account deletion costs and the cost of using MSP techs to fix potential issues. Troubleshooting becomes an issue in this scenario: who does the MSP call if something breaks? Ultimately, even if backup vendors offer support, MSPs should prepare for the additional back-and-forth communication that will be required
MSP Options for Microsoft 365 Backup
Microsoft’s Insufficient Backup
MSPs moving clients onto Microsoft 365 without a 3rd party
backup are relying solely on native recovery options. Microsoft
tools allow admins to restore lost or deleted data for 30-93
days (depending on the application) after the incident. Microsoft
also informs users that if an unexpected event were to occur
and all user data is lost, Microsoft is not liable for the damages
or obligated to retrieve said data. Microsoft also makes no
promises to restore corrupted data. Bottom line: Companies
without a 3rd Party Backup solution are leaving their data
unprotected should a worst case scenario situation take place.
Self-Hosted Vendors
In a self-hosted environment, MSPs commit to local ownership
of client data. All Microsoft 365 account data, hardware, and
software is stored within the MSP client’s facility. The customer
will be responsible for ongoing maintenance.
3rd Party Backup Vendors
In a cloud-to-cloud environment, a third party provider is able
to host everything from storage to backup configurations for
you. Clients are able to pay on an “as needed” basis and scale
their costs up or down depending on their usage. MSPs can
save time and money with the use of instant provisioning,
automated backups, and easy web-based management of
SaaS data.
