Data Storage & Rotation
Data is the lifeblood of an organisation. Whether in the form of e-mails, CMS/accounting backups or electronic documents, the ability to access your data whenever required is absolutely critical to the successful functioning of a business.
It is this indispensable nature which also makes data loss an organisation’s biggest risk. If your servers were lost due to fire, flood, or simply electrical fault or virus, could your business survive? Are your disaster recovery plans robust enough to enable the fast and efficient restoration of data backups?
Business continuity is not the only risk. Data backups are essentially your company’s life story, comprising highly confidential and commercially-sensitive information such as customer names, employee bank details – even records of patient treatment. This level of information demands proper protection and responsible management, as the cost of falling into the wrong hands could ultimately be the future of your business.
To lessen these risks, it is vital that all data is stored offsite, in an appropriate, protective environment, inaccessible to all except those with the relevant permissions. This is the service supplied by Recordsmanagement.
