But don’t worry; there are solutions available to address this challenge. Here’s why you need a robust data protection strategy:

- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring data integrity and availability helps you comply with data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.
- Business Continuity: Minimize downtime by offering swift data recovery, allowing you to resume normal activities after cyberattacks, system failures, or human errors.
- Granular Restore Capabilities: Restore specific data (such as individual emails or documents) without affecting the broader dataset, improving efficiency.
- Security and Encryption: Strong encryption during transit and at rest ensures your data remains secure.
- Centralised Management: Simplify backup management, reporting, and monitoring, freeing IT resources for other critical tasks.
By implementing a robust data backup solution, you can protect your data, ensure compliance, support business continuity, and enhance overall security.
