Case Study: Maasstad Ziekenhuis achieves simple, compliant Microsoft 365 backup with Barracuda Networks

Hands-on Dutch hospital chooses no-nonsense cloud backup for Microsoft 365

Maasstad Ziekenhuis, a large teaching hospital in Rotterdam serving roughly 140,000 patient visits a year with about 4,000 staff, modernized its IT by migrating to Microsoft 365 but faced heightened data privacy, security and compliance risks—most notably NEN 7510 requirements and ransomware threats. The IT team needed a straightforward, affordable third‑party cloud backup to protect business‑critical Microsoft 365 data.

Working with reseller Avensus, the hospital deployed Barracuda Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup for quick, low‑effort setup and granular restores across Teams, Exchange, SharePoint and OneDrive, plus point‑in‑time retrieval, reporting, audit logs and role‑based access. The solution delivered reliable, easy‑to‑manage restores and regulatory support, giving the team peace of mind and a secure foundation for further cybersecurity investments and cloud expansion.
