DescriptionThis product is the Sophos Data Storage Pack Add-on for your Sophos XDR or MDR service. By default, Sophos Central stores 30 days of data in the Data Lake. This add-on license extends that retention period to 90 days. This is essential for deeper threat hunting, historical investigations, and meeting compliance requirements that mandate longer log retention periods. The "Backup and Recovery Integration Pack" is a separate add-on that ingests data from backup vendors. This Data Storage pack retains all your data for longer. |

- 90-Day Data Retention: Extends your Sophos Data Lake storage from the default 30 days to a full 90 days.

FAQs for Data Storage Pack
Q: Do I need this to use Sophos MDR or XDR?
A: No. Sophos MDR and XDR include 30 days of Data Lake storage by default. This is an optional add-on specifically for customers who need to retain that data for a longer period (90 days).
Q: How is this add-on licensed?
A: This add-on is licensed to match your main subscription. If you have "Sophos MDR for 100 Users", you would purchase this add-on for 100 users. It is co-termed to end on the same date as your main MDR license.
Q: What is the difference between this and the "Backup & Recovery Integration Pack"?
A: They are two different add-ons. The Backup & Recovery Pack adds new data from your backup system (like Veeam) to Sophos Central. This Data Storage Pack extends the storage time for all your data (from 30 to 90 days).
