A Shared Responsibility – Microsoft 365 Data Retention Policies
As more UK businesses adopt Microsoft 365™, questions may arise about the role of Microsoft in keeping your data safe and recoverable. It’s important to know that, while Microsoft is primarily focused on availability, your trusted IT managed services provider, Diskel, is the one to rely on for helping ensure recoverability and retention of Microsoft 365 data. Just as you count on us to manage and protect your other computing resources and data, we expect to be the one you call upon when you discover data retention gaps or suffer accidental data loss with Microsoft 365.
Many business people do not fully realise there are limits to Microsoft’s default data – retention policies. If you do not choose our data protection solution for Microsoft 365, you may find yourself in an unpleasant situation where vital material has been permanently deleted. Without a backup, even the most skilled will not be able to recover your data.
What does Microsoft state? Service Level Agreement 6 B: “We recommend that you regularly backup Your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.”
