While avoiding disaster is surely every business’ aim, internal data protection systems and strategies make sound business sense, so that should the worst happen, business disruption is minimised. Yet how do you know your choice of disaster recovery solution makes the grade? Selecting an ISO27001 accredited supplier is key, as Datashare Solutions Managing Director, John Eady explains: “The ISO27001 benchmark – formerly BS7799 part 2 - assures businesses of the highest standards in data security management. It takes in vital controls such as confidentiality, the integrity of, and the availability of business critical data. Only an ISO27001 disaster recovery system will offer complete protection from the threats of IT fraud, viral attack or sabotage.” Information security is an issue that every business should consider. How detrimental or potentially disastrous would it be if your business data were lost, corrupted, stolen or accessed and used by non-authorised personnel? “While we don’t wish to scaremonger, we can’t stress enough how important it is to have the appropriate information security management systems in place,” continues Eady. “We take disaster recovery very seriously – and our ISO27001 systems, with their inherent stringent controls, minimise the risk of system weaknesses being exploited.” ISO27001 disaster recovery systems also carry UK Data Protection Commissioner recommendation, proving accredited organisations meet Data Protection Act 1998 legislation. “Peace of mind is invaluable,” says Eady. “We would like to reassure anyone choosing Datashare Solutions that we are assessed by third parties on an ongoing basis, work to best practice guidelines to maintain our IS027001 status and welcome product reviews that put through our paces,” he concludes.
