Case Study: SOAS, University of London strengthens Microsoft 365 data protection with Keepit

SOAS, University of London protects 147 TB of data with Keepit

SOAS, University of London, a globally recognized institution specializing in the study of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, needed a reliable and cost-effective solution to protect its critical Microsoft 365 data from accidental deletion or cyber incidents. The university's challenge was to find a cloud backup solution that met strict governance and data residency requirements while fitting within the budget constraints typical of higher education.

Keepit provided its independent SaaS backup platform, which was deployed to protect data across Microsoft 365 applications like OneDrive, Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint. The solution offered UK-based data storage for GDPR compliance, a vendor-independent architecture for reduced risk, and predictable costs. As a result, SOAS achieved enhanced operational resilience with the confidence that its academic and student data is continuously protected and can be recovered quickly.
