Microsoft keeps Microsoft 365 running, but under the shared responsibility model, recovering your data is your job. Native retention policies are built for compliance windows, not a substitute for dedicated backup and recovery. Backup for Microsoft 365, part of SaaSRecover, adds isolated, air-gapped copies and granular, provable recovery. How long should a company retain emails? Retention policies vary across companies and industries. For example, HIPAA requires healthcare organizations to keep required HIPAA documentation for at least six years. With Commvault, you can choose a preconfigured retention plan or build your own, and set multiple policies at the mailbox level. How can I find sensitive data in Microsoft 365? Commvault Data Posture 360 analyzes your Microsoft 365 backups to discover and classify sensitive data, such as PII, in email and files. You see risk findings on a centralized dashboard and can search, tag, hold, or delete data for legal, compliance, or lifecycle needs. How can I protect my Microsoft 365 data from ransomware, corruption, or accidental deletion? Backup copies sit air-gapped in a separate data security domain, outside Microsoft 365, so an event that hits production data, like user error or an internal attack, may not also addect your backups. Threat Scan checks backups for malware and attacker activity before you restore. How does eDiscovery work for Microsoft 365? Commvault compliance search lets you run keyword, phrase, and metadata searches across protected Microsoft 365 mailboxes and files, then export results for legal review or preserve them for regulatory needs. You can also search Google Workspace and endpoint data from the same interface. --- Start a Trial ## Ready to get started?
