Data Management & Protection
What are you doing to protect your business data?
Your data is the foundation of your business. Lose it and you have a 60% chance of going out of business within two years. And those two years are not going to be fun.
Depending on your business, your critical data can change every day, hour or second. Crossroads will help you develop and implement a data management and protection strategy that is right for your business. To identify, we will help you answer the following questions:
-
If you did lose data, what point in time would you need to restore back to: ten seconds ago, one hour ago, or one week ago?
-
How quickly would you need to restore the data: within an hour, 24 hours, 48 hours?
-
Are you in compliance with data backup and retention schedules specified by the IRS and other regulatory bodies' statutes?
-
Are your vendors backing up any critical data that belongs to you or that is critical to your business operations? What are your vendors' backup and retention pollicies?
-
Who is auditing your—and your vendors'—backup processes?
-
Are you sure that the backed up data can be restored—and restored within the required timeframe—when needed?
After answering these critical questions and analyzing your business needs, Crossroads Business Solutions will develop a data back and storage plan that meets your data protection requirements and budget.
