ValorC3 Adds Immutable Cloud Backups to SaaS Security
▼ Summary
– ValorC3 Data Centers launched Backup as a Service (BaaS), a fully managed service that protects SaaS data like Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Salesforce with immutable backups.
– Most companies mistakenly assume SaaS vendors handle backup, but 80% of organizations have had a cloud security issue and 45% of data breaches originate in cloud environments.
– ValorC3’s BaaS closes the gap in the shared responsibility model, as SaaS platforms maintain service uptime, not data recovery.
– ValorC3 manages backups end-to-end, including configuration, monitoring, and recovery testing, using Veeam Data Cloud as a Gold Service Provider.
– In the event of data loss, such as from a deleted mailbox or ransomware, ValorC3 customers can revert to a clean copy, preventing financial loss and brand damage.
ValorC3 Data Centers has officially launched Backup as a Service (BaaS) into general availability. This fully managed solution is designed to protect the SaaS data that businesses depend on daily, including Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Salesforce. Every backup is immutable, ensuring data remains recoverable after deletion, corruption, or a ransomware attack.
A common misconception is that SaaS vendors automatically back up customer data. In reality, recent cloud governance data reveals that 80% of organizations have encountered at least one cloud security issue, and cloud environments now account for 45% of all data breaches. SaaS platforms are engineered to maintain service continuity, not to recover lost files. ValorC3’s BaaS fills that gap, operating under a shared responsibility model that puts data protection back in the customer’s hands.
“Protecting data is the responsibility of the customer,” said Justin Fox, Senior Vice President of Product and Operations at ValorC3. “ValorC3’s BaaS solution closes that gap and gives customers a viable way to protect their data from real-time threats that could lead to rapid loss of critical information.”
ValorC3 manages the entire data protection lifecycle. The team configures and monitors backup jobs, tests recovery processes, and builds the underlying protection strategy. Because backups are written once and cannot be altered or deleted, a clean recovery point survives even a full-scale ransomware incident. As a Veeam Gold Service Provider, ValorC3 runs the service on Veeam Data Cloud, ensuring enterprise-grade reliability.
“We close the gap, and we own it,” Fox said. “We configure it, we monitor it, we test the recovery. Our customers get protection that works without having to think about it.”
The real value becomes clear when something goes wrong. A deleted mailbox or a ransomware event can destroy data that no SaaS vendor will restore. ValorC3 customers simply revert to a clean copy and continue operations, turning what could be a major outage into a non-event. This approach can save businesses millions of dollars and protect them from irreparable brand damage.
