Hi Do one need to consider external backup solution of AAD when having multiple tenants? - can't seem to find any regarding this "topic" in the CAF ?

Hi Vasil

Thanks for your reply

what if the enterprise is compromised and hackers takes down the AD tenant...(sounds crazy - but just worst case scenario 🙂

How will backup help you with that? 🙂 Better focus on securing your tenant, especially admin accounts. But if you are willing to spend $$$, I'm sure there are at least few vendors out there offering backup for AAD.

Indeed. I would also recommend to secure your Azure AD Tenant using P2 together with PIM and Least Privilege. Also go in Governance in General for Azure and Microsoft 365 Services.

  I read was has been stated 🙂
  
  What about backup/restoring of Service Principals, AAD Security groups etc...and from a MSP point of view?

    You will have to rely on the different bins (30 days for security Groups and App Registrations).
    Microsoft is slowly adding bin / restoration of deleted items but this is not backup. Governance will be the key.
