Mobit Bolsters Backup Protection and Compliance with NinjaOne

Challenges
  • Microsoft native tools lack full identity and access protection
  • No backup of Entra ID configs, role assignments, or Conditional Access policies
  • No forensic proof of identity state for NIS2 audits
  • Weeks-long manual rebuild risk after identity-targeted attacks
Results
  • Improved cyber resilience
  • Identity and access settings included in backups
  • Immutable storage to meet long-term compliance requirements
  • Near-instant rollback from weeks to minutes of automated restoration

Overview

Mobit is a leading provider of mobile and IT solutions serving 32,000 companies across Norway. Thorlakur Thorgeirsson, IT business manager, oversees Mobit’s compliance-first approach to cybersecurity and backup. As the EU’s NIS2 Directive elevated requirements for risk management and incident reporting, Mobit identified a critical gap: Microsoft’s native tools could not fully protect the identity and access layer — including Entra ID configurations, role assignments, and Conditional Access policies. NinjaOne SaaS Backup for Microsoft Entra gave Mobit near-instant rollback capabilities, audit-ready forensic history, and immutable storage to satisfy NIS2 obligations and turn compliance into a competitive advantage. Learn how Mobit strengthened backup protection and compliance for 32,000 partners with NinjaOne.

Identity Resilience for Modern Threats

Today’s cyberattacks go beyond file encryption to target identity infrastructure itself — deleting high-privilege accounts, altering Conditional Access policies, and pushing malicious device management policies through Microsoft Intune. Without a backup, rebuilding a secure Microsoft Entra ID environment can take weeks of costly downtime. With NinjaOne SaaS Backup for Microsoft Entra, Mobit gained near-instant rollback to a last-known good snapshot, cutting recovery to minutes of automated restoration and directly supporting NIS2’s business continuity requirements.

NIS2 Compliance and Forensics

Mobit’s compliance requirements extended beyond basic recovery — auditors demand granular, historical proof of role assignments and Conditional Access policy states. NinjaOne provides an audit-ready policy history with frequent snapshots, allowing Mobit to instantly retrieve the exact state of identities and policies at any point in time. Following security incidents, forensic tracing of changes to rules, policies, and identities helps meet NIS2’s mandatory regulatory reporting requirements.

Beyond backup

For Mobit, upgrading to NinjaOne SaaS Backup for Microsoft Entra represented the evolution of their value proposition — from storage to full security partnership in Norway’s highly regulated landscape. By protecting data content and identity systems from a single unified platform, Mobit shifted client conversations from the cost-per-gigabyte to the cost of an hour of downtime or a compliance fine. “As a company, it’s our responsibility to offer a comprehensive backup and archiving solution to limit downtime and address compliance. NinjaOne SaaS Backup for Microsoft Entra is an essential part of this bundle that has become the norm for us,” said Thorlakur Thorgeirsson, IT business manager at Mobit.
