For a global non-profit organization like The Ocean Cleanup, security ranks alongside agility and scalability as an operational essential. Keepit guarantees minimum downtime in the event of unforeseen data loss, whether it’s malignant or simply caused by human error. This includes conversations and files shared through Microsoft Teams - a tool that The Ocean Cleanup has used for all projects since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the retirement of Skype for Business.

Ransomware Attacks on the Rise
According to Mr. Bink, an off-site backup solution like Keepit may be the difference between seeing your business come to a grinding halt or steady success. Since the pandemic, there has been a rise of ransomware attacks targeting companies big and small, presenting a real threat to cloud-centric organizations like The Ocean Cleanup.
We absolutely need to have our data stored in a separate location from that of Microsoft in case of an attack, which is exactly what Keepit does for us.

About The Ocean Cleanup
The Ocean Cleanup develops and scales technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. They aim to achieve this goal by taking a two-pronged approach: stemming the inflow via rivers and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean. For the latter, The Ocean Cleanup is developing large-scale systems to efficiently concentrate the plastic for periodic removal. This plastic is tracked, traced through DNVs chain of custody model to certify claims of origin when recycling it into new products. To curb the tide via rivers, The Ocean Cleanup has developed Interceptor™ solutions to halt and extract riverine plastic before it reaches the ocean. Founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, The Ocean Cleanup now employs a broadly multi-disciplined team of approximately 100. The foundation is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
