Ransomware and Deletion Protection

Immutable backup. Ransomware cannot touch it.

Ransomware that encrypts your Microsoft 365 data cannot reach immutable backup copies stored in UK data centres. Whether the threat is ransomware, a malicious insider, or an accidental deletion, clean copies are always available.

What We Deliver

Ransomware and deletion protection capabilities.

Immutable Backup Storage

Backup copies stored in write-once, read-many storage. Ransomware cannot encrypt or delete backup data even if it compromises your Microsoft 365 tenancy.

UK Data Centre Storage

All backup data stored exclusively in UK data centres. No data leaves the country. GDPR compliant by design with full data residency control.

Ransomware Recovery

Restore your entire Microsoft 365 environment to a clean pre-infection state. Email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams all recoverable from immutable copies.

Accidental Deletion Recovery

Recover any item deleted by a user, administrator, or automated process. No reliance on Microsoft recycle bins or retention policies that may have already expired.

Malicious Insider Protection

Backup data protected from deletion by compromised or malicious administrator accounts. Separate credentials and access controls for backup management.

Point-in-Time Clean Recovery

Identify the exact point before infection or deletion and restore to that state. Granular recovery options to minimise data loss and recovery time.

How It Works

From risk assessment to immutable protection.

01

Risk Assessment

We assess your current Microsoft 365 configuration for ransomware exposure and accidental deletion risks, including sync client settings and admin permissions.

02

Immutable Backup Configuration

Backup policies configured with immutable storage targets. Retention periods set to ensure clean recovery points are always available.

03

Initial Full Backup

First full backup of all Microsoft 365 data completed to immutable storage. Baseline clean copy established before any incident occurs.

04

Continuous Protection

Daily incremental backups maintain up-to-date clean copies. Multiple recovery points available to minimise data loss in any scenario.

05

Incident Response Planning

Recovery runbooks created for ransomware and deletion scenarios. Your team knows exactly what to do and who to call when an incident occurs.

06

Recovery Testing

Quarterly recovery tests simulate ransomware and deletion scenarios. Recovery time and data loss objectives verified and documented.

UK Case Studies

Ransomware recovery delivered across the UK.

Logistics Company, Blackburn

Challenge: Ransomware spread through a OneDrive sync client, encrypting thousands of files across multiple user accounts. The attack was detected 48 hours after initial infection.

Outcome: All OneDrive data restored to a clean pre-infection state from immutable backup. No ransom paid. Full recovery completed within four hours.

Manufacturing Firm, Sheffield

Challenge: A departing IT administrator deleted multiple SharePoint sites and mailboxes before leaving, including the company intranet and the HR shared mailbox.

Outcome: All deleted sites and mailboxes restored from backup within two hours. No data permanently lost. Former administrator had no access to backup systems.

Retail Business, Bristol

Challenge: A ransomware attack encrypted the company SharePoint and OneDrive via a compromised Microsoft 365 account. The attacker also attempted to delete backup configurations.

Outcome: Immutable backup copies were unaffected by the attack. Full Microsoft 365 environment restored to pre-attack state. Business resumed within six hours.
