What is data protection, and why does it matter?
Here’s the short answer: for your business, data protection is everything. If you’ve ever had a fraudulent charge on your credit card or had your personal data breached, you know how scary it can be.
For your business, the stakes around data protection are even higher. Odds are, you are transacting with dozens or even hundreds of clients over the course of a year, and each of them is trusting you to keep their data safe. Data protection is the key to not only client retention and reputation management, but allowing your team to remain productive and run a thriving business.
Furthermore, depending on what industry your business is in failure to practice appropriate data protection may put your business afoul of the law.
What is cloud data protection, and is it right for me?
Cloud data protection describes all the hardware and software tools as well as procedures, protocols, and architecture that keeps your business’s data safe in the cloud.
Threats to data protection include not only hackers but unexpected incidents, such as weather events, that could result in service interruption. Technological failures and human error can also result in data loss. Robust data protection protocols can help prevent such negative outcomes before they even happen.
Cloud-based data protection has many different possible components, and a good IT partner will be able to help you decide which is right for your business. These include:
- Data encryption. Whether you choose end-to-end data encryption, or simply in-transit or at-rest data encryption will depend on your business needs and budget.
- Data loss prevention. Protocols such as content monitoring and filtering will identify sensitive data and prevent its transfer, stopping a data breach before it begins.
- Threat detection. Scanning for malware and flagging unusual data activity are just a few of the data protection processes that can keep your business safe.
- Compliance controls. If your business sits in an industry with strict regulatory protocols, you may need to perform extra functions like submitting data reporting and adherence to specific data protection processes.
Data protection in the cloud, when properly implemented, can be much more secure and cost-effective than traditional data protection. Depending on your business’s industry, you may also want to consider hybrid data cloud protection, which utilizes space in both public and private servers depending on the sensitivity level of different data you are managing.
What are some common threats to data protection?
- Cyberattacks: Unfortunately, hackers’ use of phishing and malware continuously grows more sophisticated, which is why your data protection needs to continuously upgrade as well.
- Data breaches: If someone internal or external to your team has access to data they should not, they can share and leverage it for personal gain.
- Human error: We’ve all sent an email to the wrong person by accident or attached a file we didn’t mean to surface. Human error in data loss can be that simple. The better educated your team is on safe data protection practices – and the more data protection protocols you have in place – the more protected you’ll be against incidents like these.
Here are some ways data protection benefits your business:
Business continuity
From everyday communication and work to disaster recovery as a service, or DAAS, you need your business to run smoothly – especially if you’re a small business owner managing multiple other functions.
Reliable IT solutions ensure you can focus on growing your business without unnecessary interruptions or technical setbacks.
Preventing fraud and cybercrimes
Avoiding costly, stressful, and disruptive cyber attacks is key to running an effective and growing business. Whether you leverage cloud-based data protection or hybrid cloud data protection, allowing an experienced IT consulting firm to choose the right data protection for you is key.
Competitive advantage
Strong cloud data protection draws in new customers, strengthens your relationship with existing ones. If you’re just starting out, investing in high-quality IT infrastructure for small businesses is a great way to set yourself up for success, improve operational efficiency, and safeguard your future growth.
How does ClearFuze stand out as a data protection provider?
Here us out: not all data breaches happen during normal business working hours. Okay, this should be totally obvious, but apparently it’s not – because not all IT providers offer 24/7 data protection monitoring and support.
At ClearFuze, we offer round-the-clock data protection – which means proactively reaching out if we see something that looks off. We’re thorough, proactive, and we treat each business as an individual relationship to be nurtured. We build IT and data protection solutions to fit into your business, not the other way around.
Cloud data protection can be an incredible asset to your business, but only if it’s set up and monitored properly. Our team has over 20 years of experience supporting and growing businesses with robust technology solutions. We’ve seen it all, but we also stay on the cutting edge of new technological innovations, trends, and improvements.
