Mums In Need secures sensitive Google Workspace data with Keepit

Simplicity, peace of mind and compliance were top of mind for Mums In Need when choosing a backup and recovery provider. As a small organization without a specialized IT staff, Keepit’s solution was the perfect choice for securing sensitive data in Google Workspace.

A charity looking to secure its Google Workspace data Mums In Need is on a mission to help women rebuild their lives after experiencing domestic abuse. This Sheffield-based charity supports mothers affected by emotional abuse and postseparation abuse in South Yorkshire and the surrounding area.

As Laura Riley, CEO at Mums In Need, laid out their requirements for data protection, it became clear that a cloud-based backup solution was essential. The entire organization stores its data in the cloud, using Google Workspace with their volunteers, trustees, ambassadors and patrons who log into the platform from various locations across the United Kingdom.

Keepit is a set-and-forget solution, and everything is available from one screen - so we can check how much data is being backed up and ensure everything is running smoothly.
