1&1 Ionos Partners With Dropsuite

Dropsuite Limited, a cloud backup platform for businesses, announces a partnership with hosting company 1&1 IONOS, Inc.

This partnership will provide 1&1 IONOS customers with an affordable and automated way to archive their email communications and comply with EU data regulations.

Dropsuite Email Archiving provides tamper-proof safeguarding of email data in real-time, providing organizations with ongoing, rapid access to years of business information (email files and attachments). The software includes compliance tools for GDPR, GoBD, HGB and AO, plus eDiscovery, legal hold, flexible retention periods, tamper-proof audit trails and more. Dropsuite is for Data Protection Officers (DPOs) who need to be empowered with tools to help them navigate the grey areas where GDPR compliance meets businesses compliance.

For this partnership, both companies created a 1&1 IONOS-branded customer experience, so that email archiving could be added to existing 1&1 IONOS customer accounts or bundled with its products in the checkout. Dropsuite is deployed on a private cloud, operated by 1&1 IONOS, meaning all data and applications are hosted in 1&1 IONOS data centers.

“It’s essential that businesses archive their documents and emails. That’s why our customers need a simple and reliable platform to help store their emails safely in compliance with all legal requirements,” says Achim Weiss, CEO, 1&1 IONOS. “By partnering with Dropsuite, we now offer a professional and secure email archiving tool that automatically stores business correspondence, allowing our customers to concentrate on the continued success of their business.“

“We are excited 1&1 IONOS partnered with Dropsuite,” said Ridley Ruth, COO, Dropsuite. “Providing data archiving and compliance solutions that are scalable, searchable, legally defensible, and able to pass audits or legal queries with relative ease is what we’re all about. Now 1&1 IONOS customers will be able to safeguard and manage their email communication obligations with ease.“

1&1 IONOS was created in 2018 from the merger of 1&1 and IaaS provider ProfitBricks. 1&1 IONOS is part of the listed United Internet AG (ISIN DE0005089031). Its brand family includes STRATO, Arsys, Fasthosts, home.pl, InterNetX, SEDO, United Domains and World4You.
