Discover why most businesses are literally gambling with their very survival when it comes to managing their data.
The Great Data Security Scandal
- 43% of businesses who experience a major loss of data never re-open.
- Another 51% close within two years.
With the number of publicised data loss events on the rise, the fact that survival rates for a business suffering data loss are as low as 6% is shocking. What is scandalous, however, is how many of these incidents could be prevented with the right data security measures and technical support in place. Regardless of company size, Business Owners are literally gambling with their future by not ensuring their data security and disaster recovery procedures are robust.
Why Do So Few Businesses Survive A Breach Of Data Security?
Many companies simply cannot function with valuable data missing.The loss of reputation, and damage to profitability, means their business is no longer viable.
What Elements Are Required To Ensure Data Security Is Robust?
- Simply backing up is not enough to guarantee data security.
- Backups need to be checked frequently and stored securely off the business premises.
- Even this will not minimise the potential damage that can be caused to a business.
- The data also has to be easy to restore to your computer system.
- A proper disaster recovery plan is vital to ensure minimum disruption to your business.
- Technical support can also be a large contributor to preventing any problems. A lot of data loss is due to hardware failure.
An I.T support company, remotely managing your computer systems, will prevent many potential threats.Data security is not always breached by accident. A business can also be vulnerable internally to data theft, the ramifications of which can be catastrophic. It is, therefore, vital to ensure your computer system is protected from these threats as well. By leaving data security to chance, you are placing your business at enormous risk. Any Business Owner who has experienced data loss understands the importance of having an effective strategy in place, but by then it is often too late.
With only 6% of businesses surviving longer than two years after a significant amount of data loss, it is not worth gambling with your future.
