The loss or corruption of critical information such as customer records, inventories, marketing and sales materials, financial or employee records could literally cripple an organization.

Small businesses are typically the most vulnerable to data loss because they do not have the resources or technology to handle data storage and recovery properly or securely, which is the most critical aspect of a solid business continuity plan.

Even larger businesses that allocate significant resources to IT, are vulnerable if they do not manage all of the data (including remote and mobile employee data) properly. Tape backups must be performed regularly and cataloged properly. Unless these tapes are handled and stored offsite properly, the corporation is susceptible to threats of natural disaster as well as competitive theft or the malicious behavior of disgruntled employees. And, as storage requirements evolve, IT must scale efficiently as well.

In addition, the expanding mobile workforce with portable PCs can present several challenges for information security and data backups.

Are You Prepared?

Only a small fraction of businesses or employees backup their critical data. Even fewer handle their backups properly or store them securely offsite.

Few people believe that any data disaster will happen to them … until it does. And then, unfortunately, it is too late.

Accidents will happen: natural disasters, human error, theft, viruses, hackers, power surges and equipment failure. Can you afford to risk the future of your business to data loss?

Risks

Did you know?

  • More than 50% of businesses that suffer significant data loss never open their doors again
  • Data loss cost business an estimated $12 billion each year
  • Less than 50% of US businesses perform routine data backups
  • Less than 10% of US businesses properly store their backups in a secure off-site location
  • Less than 10% of mobile PC users backup their critical data files


 

Data Loss

What are the causes of lost information?

44% - Hardware Failure
Hard drive manufacturers have reduced their warranties from 36 to 12 months.

30% - Human Error
Accidental file overwrite and/or deletion.

12% - Software Corruption
Programming errors, improper application termination.

7% - PC Virus
Are you fully protected from the constant introduction of new viruses?

7% - Theft, Fire, Flood, or other natural disaster

In all cases of data loss, countless hours and potentially thousands of dollars will be spent on recreating data while struggling to maintain customers. The reality is that most businesses do not manage to survive data loss.
The value of your data becomes evident when you realize what it would take to replace all of those irreplaceable files. How much time and effort would it take to reconstruct your contact database, presentations, spreadsheets, e-mails, financial records, forecasts, expense logs and proposals? The time, effort, aggravation, and monetary costs to recreate this data can be unbearable.
Backups - The Old-Fashioned Way
For those few companies that do regular backups, many utilize dated technology to safeguard their critical data. They utilize un-encrypted discs and tapes, which are rarely cataloged properly and seldom stored offsite in a secure location. It’s important to understand that if your data is not encrypted and stored securely, you have only made it more accessible for any competitor or disgruntled employee. Although you think you are protecting your investment, your risk and liability have increased dramatically by pre-packaging your critical data and making it accessible.
Doing backups the old fashioned way dramatically increases your cost too. It takes time, money and resources to load and schedule backups, change disks and tapes, and transport them to a secure facility. What’s more costly is that your data is no longer easily accessible. When a data loss occurs, your data is off-site in an unknown condition. To ensure your data is actually restorable, you must test all of your backups to ensure they are cataloged properly, un-damaged and un-corrupted. The fact is: most businesses that do their own tape backups, know that data restoration from tape is not reliable. Therefore, they are actively looking for a more cost effective, reliable and secure backup solution.
Nearly 80% of all data is stored on PCs, not on corporate servers. This year, the majority of our workforce will store their critical data on mobile PCs. How often does the data on your mobile PCs get backed-up? How much will it cost if you lose the data on just one of those PCs? A data security solution for Mobile PCs is a requirement for any 21st century organization.
