I’m not entirely comfortable with a third party handling my company’s sensitive data.

We take a comprehensive approach to protect your data, including replicating your records in geo-redundant datacenters to mitigate the risk of datacenter-wide failures, and implementing protection to block spam and virus access to your computer and corrupting your files.

How secure is the solution?

Your solution is stored and backed up in secure Microsoft datacenters. Compare that security to your current on-premises security. Microsoft facilities are SAS 70 Audited and have redundant systems, physical security, and continuous monitoring to protect your data.
