Complete Microsoft 365 Security and Backup
Microsoft 365 is essential for most businesses, but it doesn’t include everything you need to keep your email and data fully protected. Spam still gets through, phishing attacks are increasingly sophisticated, and if you lose data in Microsoft 365, recovery options are limited.
Sapphire Total Protection for 365 adds the security, backup and compliance features that Microsoft 365 is missing — all fully managed by us.
Email security
Email is still the main way threats reach your business. Total Protection for 365 filters incoming email before it reaches your mailboxes, blocking spam, malware, phishing attempts and more advanced attacks like CEO fraud and business email compromise.
The service uses AI and machine learning alongside traditional filtering to catch threats that basic spam filters miss. Links in emails are checked at the time you click them, not just when the email arrives, protecting against attacks where malicious links are activated after delivery.
Advanced threat protection
Sophisticated attacks often use attachments or links that appear safe at first glance. Total Protection for 365 includes sandboxing — opening suspicious attachments in an isolated environment to check for malicious behaviour before they reach your inbox.
If a threat is discovered after an email has been delivered, the system can automatically remove it from mailboxes across your organisation.
Microsoft 365 backup
Many businesses assume Microsoft backs up their data. In practice, if emails, files or Teams conversations are deleted — whether accidentally, maliciously or through a cyberattack — Microsoft’s recovery options are limited.
Total Protection for 365 includes comprehensive backup covering:
- Mailboxes and archive mailboxes
- OneDrive for Business
- SharePoint document libraries
- Microsoft Teams chats and files
- Planner and OneNote
Backups run automatically multiple times per day and are stored independently of Microsoft’s infrastructure. If you need something restored, just contact us.
10-year email archiving
For businesses that need to retain email records for compliance, legal or regulatory reasons, Total Protection for 365 includes email archiving with up to 10 years retention. Archived emails are searchable, tamper-proof and stored separately from your live mailboxes.
This is particularly valuable for solicitors, accountants, IFAs and other regulated businesses.
Email continuity
If Microsoft 365 has an outage, your team can still access email through a standby webmail portal. Emails continue to be received and queued, then synchronise back to your mailboxes once Microsoft’s service is restored.
Fully managed by us
We configure and manage the service on your behalf. You don’t need to learn a new system or monitor dashboards — we handle the setup, ongoing management and any issues that arise. If there’s a problem or you need data restored, just contact us and we’ll sort it out.
If we encounter something that requires deeper investigation, we work directly with Hornetsecurity’s support team to resolve it.
Why add this to Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365 provides the tools your business uses every day, but it wasn’t designed to be a complete security and backup solution. Total Protection for 365 fills the gaps — protecting your email from threats, backing up your data independently, and giving you the compliance features that regulated businesses need.
Fixed monthly pricing
Sapphire Total Protection for 365 is charged at a fixed monthly rate per user. Contact us to discuss how it can protect your Microsoft 365 environment.
