Have a look for yourself and see if you can spot any gaps in your business IT setup. https://www.dialanerd.nz/it-gap-analysis-pukekohe
This is called Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility Model, and it catches a lot of businesses off guard.
Microsoft helps keep the platform running:
✔ Cloud infrastructure
✔ Service uptime
✔ Microsoft 365 availability
BUT your business is still responsible for:
✖ Deleted emails
✖ OneDrive & SharePoint recovery
✖ Ransomware recovery
✖ Long-term retention
✖ Cyber security protection
✖ Backup & disaster recovery
We regularly see businesses with:
☐ No Microsoft 365 backups
☐ Weak email security
☐ No disaster recovery plan
☐ No recovery testing
☐ No protection against ransomware or malicious deletion
The scary part?
Most businesses only discover the gaps AFTER something goes wrong.
We’ve created a simple visual IT Gap Guide to help businesses quickly identify hidden risks in their systems and see where protection may be missing.
