SaaS Backup for Australian Organisations

Protect your Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce data with independent backups stored in Australia. Keepit’s Sydney data centre at Equinix keeps your SaaS data within Australian jurisdiction — meeting APRA, Privacy Act, and Essential Eight requirements.

The Problem

Australian organisations have moved their most critical business data into SaaS applications. Email, documents, customer records, project management — it all lives in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Salesforce. But ask who is backing up that data and the answer is usually silence.

SaaS providers operate on a shared responsibility model. They protect their infrastructure from outages and hardware failure. You are responsible for protecting your data from deletion, corruption, ransomware, and compliance retention requirements. Microsoft’s service agreement says this explicitly. So do Google’s and Salesforce’s.

For Australian organisations with regulatory obligations — APRA-regulated financial services, Privacy Act compliance, government data sovereignty requirements — there’s an additional problem. Most SaaS backup providers store data in US or European data centres. If your compliance framework requires Australian data residency, your options narrow quickly.

Keepit operates its own cloud infrastructure with a data centre at Equinix in Sydney. Your backup data stays in Australia, in a facility that meets local compliance standards, completely independent from the hyperscaler clouds where your production SaaS data lives.

Common Triggers

Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce don't back up your data — their terms say so explicitly

Compliance requires Australian data residency but your SaaS provider stores data offshore

Ransomware can encrypt SaaS data before native retention policies respond

APRA, Privacy Act, or Essential Eight audit flagged gaps in SaaS data protection

A departing employee deleted critical files and the retention window has closed

Why This Matters to Australian Organisations

SaaS data loss happens every day through accidental deletion, malicious actions, sync errors, and ransomware. Australian compliance frameworks increasingly require you to prove you can recover.

The Shared Responsibility Model Is Real

Microsoft's service agreement explicitly recommends third-party backup. Google and Salesforce have similar terms. SaaS providers protect their infrastructure — protecting your data is your responsibility. Most Australian organisations don't realise this until something goes wrong.

Australian Data Residency Matters

For organisations subject to APRA, the Privacy Act, or government data sovereignty requirements, where your backup data is stored matters. Keepit operates from Equinix Sydney — your SaaS backup data stays in Australia, in a facility that meets Australian compliance standards.

Air-Gapped Backup Is the Only Real Backup

If your backup lives in the same cloud as your production data, a single compromise affects both. Keepit stores backups in its own independent cloud — not AWS, not Azure, not GCP. If your Microsoft 365 tenant is compromised, your Keepit backups are unaffected.

Vendors That Solve This Problem

Cloud Ready Solutions distributes Keepit — the only SaaS backup vendor with its own Australian data centre infrastructure, independent from AWS, Azure, and GCP.
