Case Study: GadellNet Consulting Services achieves Microsoft 365 compliance and automated backup with Datto SaaS Protection

Midwest MSP Addresses Compliance With Datto SaaS Protection

GadellNet Consulting Services, a St. Louis–based MSP serving industries from construction to finance and education, needed a better way to meet clients’ strict compliance and retention requirements. Microsoft 365’s default 90-day retention — plus user mistakes in SharePoint and growing Teams dependency — left data exposed to accidental deletion, ransomware and regulatory risk.

GadellNet extended its long-standing Datto partnership by deploying Datto SaaS Protection for Microsoft 365, a solution that’s quick to onboard, easy to train on, and simple to manage. Bundling backup with M365 streamlined billing, made protection mandatory, and — with per‑license pricing and volume discounts — enabled GadellNet to pursue larger clients, improve margins, speed deployments, and deliver stronger compliance and recovery capabilities.
