| | WHY RISK NOT HAVING A PLAN? REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Consider regulatory compliance requirements in your industry. Regulations such as the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and other state and federal laws. LOSS OF VITAL FINANCIAL AND CUSTOMER DATA Mitigate the risk of losing vital business data, such as customer and accounting records. DAMAGE FROM THEFT OR EARTHQUAKE Being aware of the environmental hazards that the business infrastructure is exposed to due to your geographical location, such as earthquake, hurricane, or theft. LOST PRODUCTIVITY AND STRESS OF DOWNTIME Avoid excessive cost, downtime, and stress of rebuilding your business if disaster strikes without having any BDR in place. | | | | Backup and Disaster Recovery | | | continunity planning for your business Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) is the blueprint for how businesses plan to survive everything from local equipment failure to global disaster. Data-oriented BDR is an indispensable component of business planning regardless of organization size. Small and Medium Size Businesses (SMBs) generally lack the in-house IT resources to achieve these demanding technical and process planning requirements. Therefore, many SMBs either neglect to implement any data-oriented business continuity plan or else approach data backup and recovery in a sporadic, rudimentary fashion that fails to conform to the best practices of BDR. by the numbers 90% of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster, and 50% filed for bankruptcy immediately. (Source: National Archives & Records Administration in Washington.) 40% of small to medium businesses that manage their own network and use the Internet for more than e-mail will have their network accessed by a hacker, and more than 50% won’t even know they were attacked. (Source: Gartner Group) 20% of small to medium businesses will suffer a major disaster causing loss of critical data every 5 years. (Source: Richmond House Group)
