SynaaS – Managed Cloud Backup for UK Schools
Is your school data truly backed up?
60 second managed cloud backup service for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 & on-premises data following the 3-2-1-1-0 rule.
The silent threat to UK education
83% of UK schools were hit by cyber incidents last year, with 71% experiencing financial and data loss. ¹
This isn’t just about lost homework – it’s about:
- Confidential & sensitive data leak
- Breach of data protection regulations
- Significant financial loss & penalties
- Irreparable reputation damage
- Disruption to educational continuity
- Significant impact on students career progression

Cloud storage is not Cloud backup
Microsoft and Google urge their users to use a backup system outside of their storage
Recycle Bin
Provides limited protection, and if a user account is deleted and not restored in time, all data is lost from the Workspace or Microsoft servers.
Retention Policy
Google/Microsoft limits its data retention policy to save server space by deleting data permanently when it falls outside the retention period.
Avoid Dependancy
Depending solely on Google/Microsoft is risky due to outages. It is recommended to have at least two secure backup sources for your data.
Legal and Compliance
Storing staff data for extended periods of time is a legal requirement in many instances. Failure to comply can lead to potential litigation.
No Ransomware Protection
Storage syncs corrupted files, while backups offer more robust versioning and recovery options to restore clean data.
