Microsoft 365 Protection

Protecting, monitoring and recovering Microsoft 365.

With AvePoint and Adlumin we add extra protection to Microsoft 365. From backup and recovery to continuous security monitoring.

ProtectDetectRespondRecover

In short

What is protected?

Your mail, documents, sites and Teams conversations in Microsoft 365 — copied to an independent backup.

What if something goes wrong?

Unusual behaviour is spotted and contained, and your data can be put back the way it was.

What does FortFides handle?

Setup, daily checks, monitoring and recovery. One partner, one number to call.

Why this matters

Your Microsoft 365 data deserves more than default protection.

Microsoft 365 holds the daily work of your organisation: email, documents, Teams conversations and shared knowledge. Standard protection is good, but an extra layer of backup and monitoring creates real resilience.

What is protected

Mailboxes, calendars, contacts and shared mailboxes.

Why it matters

How recovery works

Restore a single message, a folder or a whole mailbox to any point in time.

AvePoint · Protect & Recover

Exchange Online

Every mailbox in your tenant is copied to an independent, encrypted backup — separate from Microsoft 365 itself.

What is protected

User mailboxes, shared mailboxes, calendars, contacts, tasks, folder structure and mailbox permissions. In-place archives are included, so older mail is covered too.

Why it matters

Email holds years of business communication: agreements, quotes, decisions. Microsoft's own retention window is limited, and an emptied mailbox, a compromised account or a mistaken retention policy can put that history out of reach.

How recovery works

Search the backup for a single message, restore a folder, or put a complete mailbox back to a chosen restore point — in place or into another mailbox, without overwriting what is still good.

Adlumin MDR · Detect & Respond

Continuous security monitoring

Sign-ins, devices, cloud services and network activity are collected into one place and watched around the clock.

What is watched

Microsoft 365 sign-ins and admin actions, endpoint activity, firewall and network logs, and identity events — gathered into a SIEM (a central log platform) so events from different systems can be compared with each other.

Why it matters

A single failed login means nothing. The same login pattern across three systems within a minute means something. Signals only become evidence when they are seen together.

What FortFides handles

Connecting the sources, tuning what counts as normal for your organisation, and making sure alerts reach a person rather than an inbox nobody reads.

Terminology in plain language
