Data Security Consulting, Backup Support and Data Restoration

Think about these two questions for a minute: What are the consequences to me and my family if my business data was lost or rendered useless? What are the costs in money, time, and opportunity if my business was faced with reconstructing its receivable, payable, and general ledger data?

Accounting controls, authorization controls, and data backup can save you thousands of dollars, hundreds of man hours, and the ability to maintain opportunity by keeping the focus on the business activity.

The routine backup of your data is critical to survival of your business activity.

A backup copy of your data should be stored off-site at a location significantly distant from your regular data processing activities to afford safe storage from a common disaster event, i.e., fire or severe weather event.

The quality of the backup data should be routinely tested to determine if the data is capable of restoration and useable in the normal course of business operations.
