Office support ends: security risk for 77% of SMEs

Since 14 October 2025, Microsoft has delivered no security updates for Office to many small businesses. The result: outdated software, security gaps and compliance risks.

Why outdated Office is dangerous

• Security gaps: Known vulnerabilities remain unpatched and exploitable.
• Compliance problems: GDPR and audit requirements demand up-to-date software.
• Compatibility issues: New file formats and partners cause friction.

Souvera: the turnkey alternative

Souvera Desk replaces Word, Excel and PowerPoint with a browser-based online office: compatible with Microsoft formats, with real-time collaboration and without installation. Everything runs in German data centers, GDPR-compliant and without US access.

Switch without risk

The integrated import wizard migrates your emails and documents. Both systems can run in parallel during the transition. Your team works on from day one: with up-to-date, secure software.

Conclusion

Outdated Office is a liability. Souvera offers small businesses a secure, GDPR-compliant and future-proof alternative: turnkey and affordable.
