As businesses across the Caribbean increasingly adopt Microsoft 365 for email, file storage, and productivity tools, many assume their data is automatically protected. However, while Microsoft provides a robust and reliable platform, it’s not designed to be a comprehensive backup solution. This gap in data protection can leave organizations vulnerable to data loss, compliance issues, and operational disruptions. That’s where Brava Solutions’ Backup as a Service (BaaS) offering comes in, providing critical protection for your Microsoft 365 data.

1. The Risks of Relying Solely on Microsoft 365

While Microsoft 365 offers many benefits, it has notable limitations when it comes to data protection, which can expose businesses to risks such as:

• Limited retention: By default, deleted items in Microsoft 365 are retained for only a short period before being permanently removed.
• Accidental deletion: Users can unintentionally delete crucial emails, files, or entire SharePoint sites. Without a reliable backup, this data could be lost forever.
• Insider threats: Disgruntled employees or compromised accounts can maliciously delete or corrupt data.
• Ransomware and cyberattacks: Cybercriminals increasingly target cloud services. A backup separate from your Microsoft 365 environment provides an additional layer of defense.
• Compliance challenges: Industries with strict data retention regulations may find Microsoft’s built-in capabilities inadequate.
• Business continuity gaps: Solely depending on Microsoft’s infrastructure might leave you vulnerable to outages or data corruption.
