Security Today's 2023 CyberSecured Awards recognize Keepit's Backup and Recovery for Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) as the best product for data loss prevention and disaster recovery/business continuity.
Backup and recovery for Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
To be resilient in the face of Entra ID outages, compromises, and misconfigurations, your organization needs access to your data
Why back up Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)?
Continue business as usual
You’re backing up your Microsoft 365 data because you know it’s vital to your organization. But what about Entra ID? If Entra ID isn’t available, your users can’t work in Microsoft 365.
Identity systems are #1 for any business
Microsoft ranks protecting identity systems as more important than protecting human life as it ensures you and your users can maintain access to critical applications such as Entra ID.
You’re responsible for your data
Microsoft doesn’t guarantee complete and fast recovery of deleted or corrupted files. It’s up to you to follow recoverability best practices to ensure uninterrupted access to your data.
Top benefits

How Keepit helps you
Most alternative cloud backup solutions store your backed-up data on the same public cloud infrastructure that hosts your primary data, which potentially exposes your company to several risks.
With Keepit, your company’s backup data is stored on an independent cloud infrastructure in two mirrored data centers in the data center region of your choice, ensuring data availability and sovereignty.
Building our own independent cloud allows Keepit to manage supply chain risks and provides tremendous control over costs, which enables us to offer unlimited hot storage and predictable “all-in” pricing.

Your data will be securely stored in Keepit’s independent cloud. We run our own data center regions, operate on our own hardware, and our own people manage the infrastructure.
To ensure data sovereignty, we have six data center regions in:
- Americas: Washington D.C., USA & Toronto, Canada
- Europe: London, United Kingdom
- EU: Copenhagen, Denmark & Frankfurt, Germany,
- Asia: Sydney, Australia
Once a customer chooses a Keepit region for backup, their data never leaves that region. Not only does Keepit guarantee that backup data will always go to that region, but no processes exist that could even transfer backup data out of that region (aside from customer-initiated restores and downloads, of course). Should systems in a region ever need to be moved out of that jurisdiction, Keepit will negotiate the moves with all affected customers prior to execution.
