As consolidation in the market for email security and cloud backup solutions continues to grow, many companies are looking for trustworthy European alternatives. A recent report by ChannelPartner also highlights our solution: the Online Compliance Centre (OCC).
Why alternatives to Hornetsecurity are relevant now.
Following Hornetsecurity’s acquisition by the US group Proofpoint, many companies are rightly asking questions about data protection, data sovereignty and GDPR compliance. Although Hornetsecurity’s feature set remains impressive, companies are increasingly seeking solutions that are developed and operated entirely in Europe, both technically and legally.
OCC from sitaas – A strong European option
The Online Compliance Centre (OCC) is explicitly named in the latest Channel Partner overview as a promising alternative – particularly for companies requiring solutions in the areas of Microsoft 365 backup (comparable to ‘Total Backup 365’) and email archiving.
1. Total Backup 365? – OCC offers Microsoft 365 backup made in Germany
OCC provides comprehensive backup functions for Microsoft 365, including:
- Backup of data from Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams
- Versioning and granular recovery
- Hosting in German data centres
- Multi-tenant management
This makes OCC a valid alternative to Hornetsecurity’s “Total Backup 365” – with the added benefit of full GDPR compliance and data storage exclusively in Germany.
2. Legally compliant email archiving as an alternative
OCC also offers legally compliant, GoBD-compliant email archiving that can be flexibly integrated into existing systems. Key features:
- Tamper-proof long-term archiving
- Intuitive user interface for search and recovery
- Easy integration with Microsoft 365
- Data centre certified to ISO 27001
These features make the OCC a genuine European alternative to Hornetsecurity’s archiving solutions.
The OCC follows a clear path.
European data sovereignty at the heart
A major advantage for companies seeking not only functionality but also trust and legal certainty:
- Development, operation, and support in Germany
- No data transfer to third countries
- Data protection and compliance in accordance with German law and EU standards
The OCC as a clear response to changing market conditions
With the Online Compliance Center, sitaas is positioning itself above all as a strong option in the backup market and as a genuine alternative for companies seeking European solutions with a focus on data protection, legal certainty, and technical quality following Proofpoint’s acquisition of Hornetsecurity.
Particularly in the area of Microsoft 365 backup and email archiving, the OCC offers a powerful, reliable and fully GDPR-compliant platform that stands up well in comparison with established providers.
Tip: Anyone currently evaluating their existing security or archiving solution should include the OCC in their decision-making process. The fact that Channel Partner also clearly recommends this solution should make the decision even easier.
