"Protected" means a test restore succeeded, not just that a backup ran.
Your provider keeps email running. Getting it back is on you.
Microsoft and Google make sure the service is up. But when someone deletes a folder by mistake, a departing employee wipes their mailbox, or an attacker takes over an account and starts sending fake invoices to your donors, recovering and containing it is largely your responsibility. KnoxDefender is built for exactly those days.

How it works
- 1
Connect
Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administrator approves KnoxDefender with the official consent screen. We request only the permissions each feature needs and explain each one.
- 2
Choose what to protect
Pick the mailboxes to back up and assign each person their own mailbox so they can see its status and request restores.
- 3
See the evidence
Dashboards show backup freshness, restore-test results, threats and domain health, with plain-English explanations and a monthly report for your board.
Restores with a second pair of eyes
Staff find the messages they need in their own backups and send a request. Your administrator sees exactly which messages, from which point in time, going where, and approves or rejects it. Approval locks the request, and every step lands in a tamper-evident audit trail.

Built with nonprofits in mind
Donor data, grant agreements and payment instructions all live in email. KnoxDefender is priced and explained for small teams without a security department.
Questions
Doesn't Microsoft or Google already back up my email?
They keep their service running and offer short-term recovery of deleted items, but long-term, point-in-time recovery of what your people deleted, overwrote or lost to an attacker is largely the customer's responsibility. KnoxDefender keeps an independent, encrypted copy outside Microsoft and Google.
Do you change our MX records or email routing?
No. KnoxDefender connects through the official Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace APIs with administrator consent. Your mail flow stays exactly as it is.
Who can see our email?
Your organization's administrators, within the permissions you set. Staff see only their own mailbox. KnoxDefender personnel cannot open message content by default; support access needs a recorded reason, a fresh two-step check, is time-limited and appears in your audit log.
Can staff restore their own email?
Staff can find messages in their own backups and request a restore. An administrator in your organization reviews the exact messages and approves it. Restored messages go to a new "Recovered" folder; nothing is overwritten.
How do we know backups actually work?
A mailbox only counts as Protected when backups are current and a test restore has verified it. Until then it shows as Backed up, Needs attention or Unknown, never as protected.
What happens if we leave?
Your retained backups stay under their retention period and any legal holds, and administrators can export them. Ending the service never silently deletes retained email.
