M365 Backup & Compliance
Complete protection, compliance and readiness for your Microsoft 365 environment.
Going Beyond Microsoft 365’s Built‑In Protection
Organisations rely on Microsoft 365 more than ever; but built‑in protection alone isn’t enough. Data loss, compliance breaches and evolving human‑driven risks remain real threats.
The Espria M365 Backup & Compliance Service delivers complete peace of mind with enterprise‑grade backup, unlimited retention, audit‑ready compliance tools and continuous workforce security training. Powered by AvePoint and KnowBe4 and fully managed by Espria experts, this service ensures your Microsoft 365 data stays protected, recoverable and compliant; so your business can operate confidently, securely and without disruption.
The Business Challenge
Data loss risks across Microsoft 365
Microsoft provides platform uptime; but data protection remains your responsibility. Accidental deletion, insider threats, ransomware and retention gaps can all result in permanent data loss without an independent backup.
Increasing regulatory and legal pressures
Businesses must meet strict standards such as GDPR, CE+, ISO 27001, NIST and PCI‑DSS. Without evidence‑ready retention, audit trails and DSAR support, compliance failures can result in fines and reputational damage.
Human-driven security vulnerabilities
Employees remain the most frequent cause of breaches. Without continuous training and human risk management, organisations remain exposed to phishing, data leaks and accidental insider threats.
Retention gaps in Microsoft 365
Native tools such as Recycle Bin and Microsoft retention policies do not guarantee long‑term recoverability. Without third‑party backup, critical data may be unrecoverable when needed for legal, regulatory or operational reasons.
Limited IT resource
Internal teams often lack time to test restores, maintain compliance documentation or deliver regular security awareness training; increasing organisational risk.
Lack of visibility of where your cloud data is being shared
Managing who should have access to specific files, sites and mailboxes is increasingly difficult in Microsoft 365. Without clear governance and visibility, organisations risk over‑permissioning, data exposure and delays in fulfilling access‑related requests.
