1. The 3 x Primary Threats your business
may be exposed.
- Technology Threats
- Human Threats
- Environmental Threats
1. Primary Threats
There are three primary threats to data in an organisation: Human, Technology and Environment.Human Threats
People are a primary threat to critical information. A common source of crisis is disgruntled employees with a motive and an understanding of where your systems are vulnerable.
Loyal employees can also cause a crisis. Back-up management is often left to junior employees who do not understand the importance of their task. A small mistake can have disastrous effects months later and often goes undetected until it is too late.
Serious threats also exist from people outside your business who can introduce viruses and ‘hack’ in from anywhere. Small and medium sized companies are especially vulnerable but off-site storage of your information will completely protect your business.
Technology Threats
The safety of every business ultimately depends on computer equipment that can and does fail. Software can also fail with catastrophic consequences.
The duplication and off-site storage of your critical information and systems means every detail is safely duplicated and stored so what happens to your equipment and software is no longer crucial.
Environmental
Like your premises and equipment, your digital information can be destroyed by environmental disasters as trivial as a liquid spill onto a hard drive, or as dramatic as a flood or fire.
Information can also be physically removed during a break in. Just as you remove your cash, important documents and digital storage, or protect them in a safe, you can easily secure all business-critical data off-site with Second Chance.
