What constitutes data security for your business?

The circumstances that you as a business owner do not know about can sometimes hurt you the most. Many times business owners consider a disaster to be the result of a random accident or unlikely act of nature such as a storm, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or fire. Due to the inconsistency and irregularity of these types of events, many business owners roll the dice in the hopes that their business will not be affected - and more often than not, come out ahead despite the unfortunate results of those that gambled and lost. However, business interruption can result from many scenarios:

• Business interruption due to old equipment running the risk of a system crash
• Business interruption due to 3rd party vendor software glitches and malfunctions
• Business interruption due to a 3rd party attack on your internal network
• Business interruption due to an act of sabotage by a disgruntled employee
• Business interruption due to an accident or situation that prevents staff from entering your building
