How safe is your company's data?

With many Small and Medium Sized businesses under estimating the true value of their data, most do not have a backup strategy in place. Those that do have a backup system usually find that it is unreilable and untested. Data can be lost in several ways:

• Hardware Failure (42%) - Drive/Controller/System hardware failure.
• Human Error (31%) - Accidentally deleting, editing or overwriting a data file.
• Malware (7%) - Having a virus scanner isn't enough. If you have an internet connection, you are susceptible to data loss.
• Theft/Sabotage/Hacking/Security Breaches (5%) - Disgruntled (ex) employees or stolen computer/media.
• Lost Data - Misplaced hard drive/CD/DVD/USB Memory Stick/Laptop
• Natural Disasters - Such as fire, flooding or lightning.
• Power Loss - Kicking power cable/shutting down by mistake.
• Software/Firmware - Caused by faulty, buggy or poorly written software.
• Disposal of Old Computers - Data discovered or recovered from old computer systems.

Data loss can ruin a business and leave it unable to continue operating. Not only does data loss prevent you and your employees from doing any work, there is also a risk of being unable to continue operating without the necessary information.
