Cybersecurity & Compliance Priorities For Canadian – US Business Operations
-->
Preparing for business interruptions – both natural and human-based – is critical to make sure you can stay up and running, regardless of whether the outage is at the office, in your town, or around the world. Disaster recovery planning is one of the most important requirements of management at a business.
In addition to reliable data backup capability, effective disaster recovery planning will get your business up and running with as little downtime as possible. It provides you with a robust set of tools to give your business the best chance to reopen and recover quickly, and with as little damage as possible to your operations and reputation.
Do you have a disaster recovery plan in place? Or could you use our help?
Cybercrime
Data loss is often the result of poor digital security; without the right defenses, cybercriminals can easily infect an IT system with ransomware or other types of malware and compromise company data.
If you have a data backup solution, then it doesn’t matter if your data has been encrypted or compromised. You can just replace it with your backup, simple as that.
Human Error
A majority of cybersecurity services offered today include the best in vital technologies, from firewalls to anti-malware to data encryption and more. However, as important as this technology is, on its own, it simply isn’t enough. The key to truly comprehensive cybersecurity (and therefore, data protection and data backup) is simple, yet often overlooked: the user.
Much of data protection is dependent on the user, and as such it’s vital that you properly educate your employees in safe conduct. The more your workforce knows about the security measures you have in place, the more confidently they can use the technology in a secure manner.
Human error can be detrimental to data integrity. Without a viable backup, all it takes is one accidental click to delete a file, or one spilled coffee to fry a local hard drive.
Maintaining Compliance
When it comes to modern compliance requirements, redundant data backups are critical. You’ll want to make sure you know what’s required of your industry’s compliance regulations, and make sure you have backup methods in place to meet those.
Natural Disasters
Don’t forget that an inconveniently timed power outage could cost you hours of work on an important project.
