While most businesses assume Microsoft 365 has them covered, it doesn’t. Microsoft’s built-in tools don’t fully protect your data. At Eastquay IT, we help close the gaps that leave SMBs vulnerable to data loss, breaches, and costly downtime.
Protect more than just productivity - protect your business.
Talk to a security expert
Microsoft 365 is likely the backbone of your business: powering your email, files, calendars, communication, and productivity. What many SMBs don’t always realize is that Microsoft’s shared responsibility model states that you are in charge of your data protection.
Here’s what that means:
By implementing safeguards such as
third-party backup, you can ensure that important data, emails,
files, and customer information remain secure, even in the face of
accidental deletion, phishing, or ransomware attacks.
Deleted emails or files may be lost forever, especially older data that’s hard-deleted and unrecoverable.
Misconfigured or outdated retention settings can result in automatic, permanent data loss with no recovery options.
Malicious or careless users can delete or alter critical data; Microsoft offers little protection beyond basic data recovery.
Switching from on-premises to Microsoft 365 can cause data loss if backups don’t support both environments.
Unprotected data may lead to GDPR or HIPAA violations, legal penalties, and long-term damage to your reputation.
Absolutely. In fact, 43% of cyber attacks are directed at small businesses. Why? Because attackers know resources can be limited. With the proper third-party protection for Microsoft 365, you can ensure your sensitive business data stays protected and resilient against data loss.
