Ma Sauvegarde

What Ma Sauvegarde does

Ma-Sauvegarde, legally operating as I.S. Management SAS (RCS Lyon 501 370 654), is a French B2B software company that provides externalized backup-as-a-service targeting IT service providers, software publishers, internal IT departments, and healthcare professionals. Founded in 2010 by Hervé Favre and headquartered in Sérézin-du-Rhône near Lyon, the company has grown to 12 employees, 150+ channel reseller partners, and 6,500+ protected end customers as of its most recent disclosure. It became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visiativ Group on July 5, 2021, with Hervé Favre continuing as CEO.

The platform centers on two core products — endpoint/server backup (Windows, Windows Server, macOS, Linux, Synology) and cloud-to-cloud SaaS backup (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, Dropbox, IMAP) — augmented by DocToDoc (HDS-certified secure health-data transfer) and Luzy Scan (file-selection utility). The underlying backup engine is provided by Atempo's Live Navigator, used in partnership since 2011 with no recorded incidents, and extended by Ma-Sauvegarde's own proprietary supervision algorithms and a PHP-based partner API. Customer data is hosted exclusively in two geographically separated ISO 27001 and HDS-certified French datacenters (Lyon and Paris, ~400 km apart) operated by partner Ciril Group (Synaaps), with real-time replication and restoration capability up to 15 minutes before an incident.

The business model is recurring subscription revenue (annual or monthly per license, with unlimited volume and retention), distributed primarily through a white-label channel program that gives partners co-branded sales materials, email templates, technical documentation, and joint go-to-market support. The model monetizes HDS-certified French data sovereignty as a regulatory advantage in healthcare, while the ISO 27001 certification broadens the addressable base into GDPR-conscious enterprise and public-adjacent segments.

Broad incumbents

• Cohesity: Enterprise data management platform combining backup, file/object storage and data security. Competes with Ma-Sauvegarde in the data-protection layer, though its emphasis is larger enterprises and converged infrastructure rather than white-label BaaS.
• Acronis: Cyber protection vendor combining backup, anti-ransomware and endpoint security. Acronis competes with Ma-Sauvegarde in both server/workstation backup and SaaS backup, and targets the same MSP partner channel.
• Veeam: Global leader in backup and data management with broad coverage of servers, VMs, cloud and SaaS. Veeam competes in the same end markets and via the same MSP/channel motion as Ma-Sauvegarde, but at much larger scale and across all geographies.
• Rubrik: Cloud-native data management and backup vendor covering on-prem, cloud and SaaS workloads, with strong enterprise data-security positioning (ransomware recovery). Overlaps with Ma-Sauvegarde's data protection scope but at substantially larger enterprise scale.

Direct peers

• Datto (Kaseya): Channel-first BaaS/DR vendor targeting MSPs with backup, BDR and SaaS protection. Highly comparable to Ma-Sauvegarde's white-label, channel-led GTM model for small and mid-market customers.
• Atempo: French software publisher specializing in data protection with 30+ years of history. Atempo both supplies the Live Navigator engine Ma-Sauvegarde runs on and offers its own BaaS for healthcare and enterprise, making it the closest functional and structural peer (technology partner + direct competitor).
• Keepit: Danish SaaS backup vendor with strong focus on M365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and Azure AD. Comparable in scope and pricing model to Ma-Sauvegarde Cloud-to-Cloud, and operates in Europe with a data-sovereignty positioning that mirrors Ma-Sauvegarde's French pitch.
• OwnBackup: US-based SaaS data protection platform focused on Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other cloud apps. Competes head-to-head with Ma-Sauvegarde's Cloud-to-Cloud product on M365, Google Workspace and Salesforce backup.
• Druva: Cloud-native data protection and backup-as-a-service vendor covering M365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, endpoints and servers. Competes with Ma-Sauvegarde on SaaS-to-cloud backup and on multi-cloud data protection.

Regional players

• OVHcloud: Largest French cloud provider, offering hosting, backup and HDS-certified infrastructure in France. OVHcloud competes in the same French data-sovereignty and HDS-certified hosting segment Ma-Sauvegarde sells into, and could expand into direct BaaS offerings to customers.
