Microsoft is excellent at protecting its cloud infrastructure. Their built-in tools handle redundancy, uptime, and security against external threats, but there’s one area they can’t cover for you: your people. Under Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility model, the data stored in Microsoft 365 is your responsibility. That includes protecting it from accidental deletions, overwrites, or even malicious insider actions.
The human element in data loss
It’s a harsh truth: over 80% of breaches involve human error. While cyber attacks make headlines, everyday slip-ups are the silent threat. From clicking the wrong button to overwriting critical files, human mistakes are the leading cause of data loss. And Microsoft’s retention policies? They’re designed for short-term fixes, not long-term disasters.
If an employee accidentally deletes an email or misconfigures a folder, it may only be recoverable for a limited time – if at all. Worse, when users leave your organisation, retaining their data often falls through the cracks, leaving businesses scrambling when historical information is needed.
