SaaS Backup Solutions
Protect your Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and other SaaS application data with independent, immutable backups. Because your SaaS provider's shared responsibility model means your data is your responsibility.
The Problem
Your organisation has moved critical business processes to SaaS applications. Email lives in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Customer data lives in Salesforce. Projects live in Jira and Confluence. But who's backing up this data?
The answer, in most cases, is no one. SaaS providers operate on a shared responsibility model: they protect their infrastructure, but you're responsible for protecting your data. Microsoft's service agreement explicitly states they recommend third-party backup.
Native retention policies aren't backups—they're temporary holds that count against your storage quota and can be affected by the same incidents (ransomware, admin errors, malicious deletion) that threaten your production data. When retention periods expire, data is gone forever.
Compliance requirements often mandate longer retention than SaaS providers offer by default. Without independent backup, you're trusting that nothing will go wrong before your retention window closes—and that's not a strategy.
Common Triggers
Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce don't backup your data—they expect you to
Deleted emails, files, or records may be unrecoverable after retention periods expire
Ransomware can encrypt SaaS data before native protection kicks in
Compliance requires longer retention than SaaS providers offer by default
Admin errors or malicious insiders can delete data permanently
Why This Matters to the Business
SaaS data loss isn't hypothetical—it happens every day through accidental deletion, malicious actions, sync errors, and ransomware attacks.
SaaS Providers Don't Backup Your Data
Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce operate on a shared responsibility model. They protect their infrastructure—you're responsible for protecting your data. Native retention policies are not backups.
Retention Gaps Create Risk
Default retention periods are often shorter than compliance requirements. When data ages out of native retention, it's gone forever. Independent backup ensures you control retention, not your SaaS provider.
Air-Gapped Protection Matters
If your SaaS provider is compromised, your data could be too. Keepit stores backups in a completely independent cloud—not AWS, Azure, or GCP—ensuring true isolation from production systems.

Compliance-Driven Industries
Meet APRA, Privacy Act, and industry-specific requirements with unlimited retention, full audit logging, and Australian data residency options.
Why Microsoft's Native Retention Isn't Backup
Microsoft 365 retention policies are useful for compliance holds, but they're not backups. Retention keeps data in place—it doesn't create independent copies. If ransomware encrypts your data, retention policies preserve the encrypted version.
Native retention also counts against your storage quota, creating cost pressure to limit retention periods. And critically, your retained data lives in the same infrastructure as your production data—there's no air gap.
Keepit provides true backup: independent copies stored in a separate cloud, with immutability that prevents modification or deletion. When you need to recover from ransomware, accidental deletion, or a malicious insider, you have clean copies to restore from.
Common Use Cases
Microsoft 365 Protection

Regulatory Compliance
Financial services, healthcare, and government organisations need to meet APRA, Privacy Act, and industry-specific requirements. Keepit provides unlimited retention, audit logging, eDiscovery, and Australian data residency.
