Natural Disaster

Could Your Business Survive a Major Data Loss?

Data is the lifeblood of your business, from customer information and financial records to operational documents and intellectual property. But what happens when your data is suddenly gone?

The reality is, data loss can strike at any moment, through:

  • Cyberattacks – Ransomware and other malicious attacks can wipe out or hold your data hostage.
  • Hardware Failures – Servers crash, hard drives fail, and without proper backups, critical data can be lost forever.
  • Human Error – Employees accidentally delete files or make mistakes that compromise data.
  • Natural Disasters – Fires, floods, or other catastrophes can destroy on-site data storage systems.

The consequences? Lost revenue, damaged customer trust, and, for many businesses, permanent closure. In fact, 60% of small businesses that suffer major data loss go out of business within 6 months.
