Case Study: GCP achieves 10-Year Data Retention and M365 Data Availability with Keepit

10-Year Data Retention Requirement Guaranteed with Keepit

GCP, a German apartment rental and property management company, needed a backup and retention solution that could meet strict compliance requirements, especially Germany’s 10-year retention rule for financial data. The team also needed fast access to historical Microsoft 365 data for audits, legal requests, and day-to-day recovery, which Microsoft’s native retention could not provide.

Keepit’s cloud backup platform for Microsoft 365 gave GCP vendor-neutral, offsite protection with two separate data centers, automated backups, MFA, and SSO. With Keepit, GCP can restore deleted data quickly, support legal and eDiscovery requests within a day, and manage data for 1,500 users with a single admin—while keeping costs predictable and meeting the required 10-year retention period.
