Are You Ready for a Data Disaster?

CED Technology • January 2, 2025

Is Your Business Prepared for a Data Disaster?

Imagine walking into work one day, only to find that your critical business data has vanished—corrupted, encrypted by ransomware, or lost due to hardware failure. Would your business survive the fallout?


Data loss is a serious threat to businesses of all sizes, and its consequences can be catastrophic. From operational downtime and lost revenue to legal penalties for non-compliance, a single data disaster could irreparably harm your business.


The True Cost of Data Loss


Data loss isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. Studies show that small and medium-sized businesses are disproportionately affected, with nearly 60% shutting down within six months of a major data loss incident. Why? Because they lack the resources and robust recovery plans needed to bounce back.

Key risks include:

  • Operational downtime: Disrupted workflows can lead to missed deadlines and dissatisfied clients.
  • Loss of sensitive information: Client records, financial data, and proprietary information could be gone forever.
  • Reputational damage: Failing to protect your data can erode customer trust.
  • Compliance violations: Data breaches or losses could result in fines under GDPR or other regulations.



Why Offsite Backups Are Essential


Relying on local backups isn’t enough. Devices can fail, and disasters such as fire, flooding, or cyberattacks can destroy both the original data and onsite backups. This is where offsite backups come in.


Offsite backups:


  • Provide a secure second copy of your data: Stored in a remote, highly secure location, offsite backups remain unaffected by local threats.
  • Support rapid recovery: With the right backup solution, you can quickly restore your systems and minimise downtime.
  • Protect against ransomware: Cloud backups with versioning ensure you can roll back to a clean state if ransomware strikes.
