Keep your business running even if Big Tech goes down
Productivity suites like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 are vulnerable to technical outages and geopolitical pressure. Maintain business continuity with Proton Workspace — a complete, encrypted business solution to stay up and running the moment your primary tools become unavailable.
Service outages are inevitable
A single infrastructure outage of a few hours can cost your business millions in revenue and lost productivity. The outages of CrowdStrike in 2024 and AWS in 2025 showed how a single point of failure can ground flights, shutter hospitals, and disrupt financial services. It's no longer a question of whether your primary workspace will fail, but when.
Don't let them stop you
When downtime happens, your team still needs to communicate, collaborate, and make decisions. Proton Workspace operates entirely independently of Big Tech platforms, on infrastructure based in Europe. And it has everything you need to stay up and running: email, calendar, drive, docs, password manager, VPN, AI assistant, and video conferencing.
How Proton Workspace keeps you operational
Set up fallback accounts in Proton Workspace now so that when a crisis hits your entire team can switch over instantly, with no interruptions.
Create Proton Workspace accounts for your staff
Your IT team sets up accounts for everyone who needs access during an incident. This is done in advance so everything is configured and ready before anything goes wrong.
Designate active and dormant accounts
Active accounts are for your security team, IT administrators, and leadership. You can start using them from day one for configuration and testing. Dormant accounts are for the rest of your employees. They're pre-provisioned at a reduced cost and ready to be activated when needed.
Switch to Proton when your primary tools go dark
During an outage, your IT team will update your DNS settings and your staff can log in to Proton immediately. Dormant accounts are instantly activated — no setup, no delays, no calls to a helpdesk. Your team continues working normally, using the same email addresses and formats as always.
Everything your business needs to stay up and running
With a complete, encrypted workspace, your leadership has everything it needs to keep work on track.
Proton Mail
Send contracts to legal, update investors, and coordinate with suppliers without requiring them to download new apps.
Proton Calendar and Meet
Keep hosting video conferences on a platform that isn't affected by the outage.
Proton Drive, Docs and Sheets
Collaborate, review, and sign off on decisions in real time, even when your existing shared drives are unreachable.
Proton VPN
Keep your connections private when your team is working from unfamiliar networks.
Proton Pass
Give your team access to every account and system they need at the moment your usual single sign-on is unavailable.
Why organizations choose Proton
Safe from data breaches and AI training
Your data in Proton is encrypted, so we can't access it. That means your emails, calendar events, files, and AI chats are yours alone — we can't share them, leak them, or feed them into AI models.
Protected by European privacy laws
Compliance-ready architecture means you're not accidentally operating out of regulation. Explicitly supports DORA (for EU financial entities), NIST CSF 2.0 (US federal agencies), and ISO 22301 requirements for business continuity planning.
Independent from Big Tech infrastructure
Proton runs on its own infrastructure with no dependency on Google, Microsoft, Amazon, or the platforms they share. When they go down, we don't go down with them.
