The problem
“It's in the cloud, so it's safe.” Not quite.
It's a common and costly assumption. Microsoft keeps the service running, but recovering what you've lost – data, a critical policy or configuration, or an application's contents – is your responsibility, not theirs. Cloud Labs Resilience keeps independent copies you can actually restore from, and keeps your key applications resilient.
What it does
Recovery and resilience you can rely on.
Microsoft 365 data recovery
Recover email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams content – a single item or an entire mailbox – in minutes, not days.
Microsoft 365 policy recovery
Restore configuration and policies, not just data, so a change or deletion can't quietly leave you exposed.
Application recovery
Independent, recoverable copies of your other key application data, so you can roll back from deletion, ransomware or account loss.
Application resilience
Keep critical applications recoverable and available, with copies that ransomware can't reach or encrypt.
- Covers accidental and malicious deletion
- Independent of the live service
- Quick to find and restore the right version
- Simple per-user subscription
Security
Recoverable, independent, out of reach.
Resilience is only useful if attackers and accidents can't take your copies with them. Cloud Labs Resilience keeps them separate and safe.
- Independent copies: held separately from the live Microsoft 365 tenant and your applications.
- Immutable against ransomware: copies can't be encrypted or deleted by an attacker.
- Encrypted: at rest and in transit.
- Identity-aware restores: recovery is controlled and attributable.
- Retention you control: keep what you need for as long as you need it.
How it compares
Cloud Labs Resilience and built-in retention.
Microsoft's built-in retention keeps the service running. It isn't recovery. Here's the difference.
| Consideration | Cloud Labs Resilience | Built-in retention |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | ✓ Recover lost data, policies & apps | – Keeps the live service running |
| Deleted items | ✓ Recoverable well beyond default windows | – Often purged after a short period |
| Policies & config | ✓ Recoverable, not just data | – Not covered |
| Ransomware | ✓ Independent, out-of-reach copies | – Live data can be encrypted |
| Restore | ✓ Granular and fast | – Limited and manual |
The bottom line: under the shared-responsibility model, recovering your data, policies and applications is your job. Cloud Labs Resilience makes it a job that's already done.
