As more organizations shift to SaaS, the inherent risks of working in collaborative cloud environments must be addressed, particularly regarding the potential loss of data.
Human Error
SaaS vendors can’t protect you from yourself.
Office 365 is a great platform that makes it easy for employees to edit the same document at the same time or view updates to workloads in real time, across any device. Unfortunately, the collaborative environment also makes it easy for files to be accidentally deleted. In fact, according to CloudHQ, human error is behind 64 percent of all data loss incidents. It’s not that SaaS apps like Office 365 don’t want to protect organizations from data loss, it’s that the inherent structure of their agreements with clients means they have no way of knowing if the action was purposeful or not. Therefore, they are obligated to carry out all user requests.
