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.
Short Retention Span
Vendors can’t always get your data back.
While Office 365 has methods to preserve deleted files, emails or entire mailboxes, the data may only be retained temporarily depending on the policies applied to the data, and may not be easily recoverable. Data is not always recoverable after this period has expired, which might come as a shock to the 95 percent of organizations that believe their SaaS provider can and will easily restore their lost data. Having third-party backup and recovery capabilities is the only way organizations can ensure they are fully protected against data loss should this retention period run out.
