The HYCU State of SaaS Resilience Report 2025

The HYCU State of SaaS Resilience Report 2025 delivers a comprehensive look at SaaS adoption trends, security challenges, and data protection shortcomings facing organizations worldwide. As SaaS applications rapidly become the backbone of modern business, new risks are emerging—and many companies are struggling to respond.

Data Protection Trends

Despite widespread use, the majority of organizations fall short in basic SaaS data protection best practices:

  • Only 30% perform policy-driven backups for some apps
  • Only 26% have offsite data retention for some applications
  • Just 25% conduct resilience testing

A considerable number of companies continue to over-rely on native vendor recovery features, mistakenly believing SaaS providers will handle all security and backup responsibilities.

Recommendations

HYCU’s report urges organizations to adopt a more unified, automated, and proactive approach to SaaS data resilience. Key recommendations include:

  • Establish clear data ownership and accountability for SaaS applications
  • Implement regular backups and offsite retention
  • Test data recovery and resilience procedures
  • Enhance visibility and monitoring across SaaS environments
