Human Error

Human errors account for up the majority (over 60%) of reported data loss incidents. Users inevitably delete the wrong email, contacts details or critical configurations. 

Deletion

SaaS providers will accept your deletion request without question. Why wouldn't they? They have no way of knowing if it's legitimate or not, whether it’s a hasty (or malicious) request and they are not responsible for any unexpected results. So once it's gone, it's gone - erroneous or otherwise.

Sync Errors

Yeesh! Otherwise known as Programmatic Errors, those awesome and powerful tools designed to streamline and optimise business processes can absolutely  ruin critical data in a flash - with no undo.

Hackers

Whether through technical means, state sponsorship or social engineering, aggressive individuals and organizations are constantly evolving their dark arts and inventing new tactics for getting to your precious data.

Insiders

It is said that Employee action is involved in up to a quarter of all electronic crime events, according to the CERT Insider Threat Center at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute. Chilling, unfortunate - but it is a factor.

Malware, Ransomware and Viruses

Malicious software, Industrial scale ransomware and viruses can cause absolute chaos with programmatic efficiency - without an active attack from a hacker. Many malware programs and viruses emerge from existing code after hibernating, making them especially hard to defend against. Ransomware in particular is a very aggressive and ever more frequent tactic that can be expensive and ruinous.

So what can you do?

Your SaaS platforms cannot protect you from all these causes of SaaS data loss. In fact, CSP providers like Microsoft 365, Google Workplace, Salesforce, Box, and Dropbox themselves recommend third-party backup for recovery from SaaS data loss. Additionally, many regulatory laws such as GDPR mandate that protecting SaaS data is a “shared responsibility”, and an organization needs to have accurate recovery capabilities in the event of data loss. Top analysts like Gartner and Forrester too advise backup.

As usual, and if we do say so ourselves, Simplify IT has the answer. Our SaaS Backup solutions will give you everything you need to eliminate SaaS Data loss and keep your data safe, secure and healthy. Your first step is getting in touch, then we can take care of everything for you with no fuss.
