In the wake of the Equifax data breach, which placed the personal information of 143 million users at risk, the issue of data security is at the forefront of social consciousness. Your organization needs to go about its daily business as if it will experience a data breach at any given moment. This involves looking at the worst-case scenario, and planning for it so that you’re never caught unaware.
Most modern companies rely on computers to at least some extent, particularly if there is some sort of delegation of services involved. Whether it’s an office filled with computers and server units, or simply a retailer with point-of-sale equipment, the companies of today need computers and data in order to function as intended. To protect this data, you need a method to preserve it--which is where data backup comes into play.
The holidays are approaching, whether we are ready for them or not. With the holidays comes time off, which means that it’s awfully easy to fall behind post-vacation.

Do you fall into the broad term of “professional services?” If so, you might be interested in hearing how managed IT can help you improve operations and take advantage of other various benefits that they provide for organizations like yours. Let’s take a look at some of the many solutions that MSPs can offer for your business. You’ll be surprised by how much more work you can get done during the workday!
Security Must Be a Priority
Data security is absolutely critical for your business, whether it’s a small business or a large enterprise. Financial information, personally identifiable information, and other credentials could be stolen by hackers at any moment. Sensitive information fetches a great price on the black market, which means that it’s priority number one for your organization. The more valuable information is to a hacker, the more danger it’s in.
Managed service providers can help your business protect itself from cyber threats to your business, be it a firewall to keep threats out, or a monitoring solution that helps you keep security in check in real time. Managed service providers take preventative measures to keep threats from evolving into a major problem. Any threats found can be resolved before a major data breach becomes a reality.
Basically, it comes down to running your business instead of worrying about security. After all, that’s why you’re in business in the first place, right?
Ensuring the Continuity of Your Business
While you can protect your business from deliberate attempts on its continued existence, what can you do about accidents and disasters that happen seemingly out of nowhere? Floods, fires, and storms are undiscriminating and will take down your business whether you want them to or not. In the wake of such a destructive event, will your data be able to survive so that your business can continue operations as intended?
Infradapt can help your business ensure that this doesn’t happen by equipping your organization with quality data backup and disaster recovery solutions. This helps to ensure that your organization can survive dangerous events such as hardware failures, natural disasters, and even user error. We can equip your business with the tools necessary to take multiple backups a day as often as every fifteen minutes. These backups are then stored in a secure off-site location for later restoration, allowing you to stay in the game following a critical failure of your systems and infrastructure.
Reporting Keeps You Updated
Understanding your current business operations is also incredibly important for the continued success of your organization. Infradapt can equip your business with reporting tools that can help you capture key metrics and other important details. Our reporting solutions can help you track your business’s progress and keep it moving forward.
Keep Up On Compliance
Your organization might need to adhere to certain regulations and compliances that are implemented to protect the personal information of your employees and clients. The requirements can vary, so it’s best to reach out to a professional IT company like Infradapt to ensure that you get compliance right. This means that you can focus on running your business as it was meant to be without worrying about compliance.
