Double-check your service-level agreements (SLAs) to see where your SaaS provider’s responsibility ends and where yours should begin.
Dating as far back as the Ancient Egyptians, encryption has been in use for 1000s of years. Now in 2020, it is safe to say that encryption technologies have dramatically improved. By leveraging the security of encryption on data, this tool can be a key factor in mitigating the costs of a data breach by as much as $237,176! (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report)

If you’ve ever fallen victim to a cloud data breach, the outcome may have been very different if your organization invested in proper data backups.

Furthermore, any APIs or additional services can also be a wormhole into your data. In short, backup your data!

SaaS cloud service providers like 0365 and G-Suite focus on the accessibility of your data, not recoverability.

In other words, why trust your data to anyone else?
