This is the second contractually-backed pay-as-you-go service in The Bunker’s GDPR Service Suite, which has been designed to comply with specific articles outlined by the regulation.

Since Microsoft makes it clear that Office 365 customers are responsible for their own data, The Bunker’s latest offering eliminates the risk of losing access to business-critical information and ensures that customers have complete control over their data retention.

The specific aspects of GDPR addressed by the new Office 365 backup-as-a-service include, principles relating to the processing of personal data and the security of processing. As well as facilitating the auditing process, businesses will benefit from automatic backup and advanced search capabilities, robust encryption and regular testing to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, availability and integrity of their data.

Businesses opting for this service will also benefit from additional GDPR consultancy from the wider Cyberfort Group.

Phil Bindley, managing director at The Bunker said: “Many organisations are still unaware that they are ultimately responsible for their Office 365 data. Post-GDPR there could be sizeable consequences for the loss of data and so businesses need to make sure they have backups that they can retrieve in a timely manner if needed.

“The regulation is an opportunity for companies of all sizes to reassess the way they operate and put processes in place to facilitate growth in the future. This new solution has GDPR baked in from the beginning, offering peace of mind for the businesses we work with and allowing them to take advantage of compliance, rather than letting it become a headache.”
