That’s the largest fine the FSA has imposed to date on a single company for losing customer data. 46,000 customers were unaware that their personal details – in some cases bank account details and credit card information – were lost until Zurich notified them. A worrying 12 months after the event. (more…)
Not very much these days. A chocolate bar after 5 days saving; an ice cream after 10 days; a pint of beer after 20 days. Or complete protection for your computer data, day in, day out. With prices starting from 16p per day it’s got to be worth it. Contact us to find out how.
Karen Pheasant from Ladies Workout Express provided us with a fantastic testimonial this morning: “I was very impressed to receive an email from 24/7 Uptime last week pointing out there were warnings on my data backup report and suggesting possible causes. BT never did that!”
Customer service is really important to us and we’re delighted Karen recognises that.
Of course you’ve read about the benefits of Replicate Data, 24/7 Uptime’s offsite data backup solution, and have seen our customer testimonials but, in case you need more reasons to consider offsite backup:
£500,000 fine – or offsite data backup? It’s a no brainer really – yet many companies think IT security is boring, perhaps unnecessary and something that can be put off until tomorrow. Well, tomorrow has arrived - because the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) now has powers to fine companies £500,000 if they are careless about securing personal data of individuals – whether that’s staff or customers.

It’s all very well having a hard drive to back up your data – but do you actually use or or does it simply gather dust?
Those very words were spoken to me recently – though I know they were rather tongue-in-cheek! The person concerned is actually a client, but of course his IT person is the one who receives the daily updates that confirm their offsite data backup has been successful.
I did explain that we could arrange to send him the daily confirmations as well but, having teased us suitably, he declined and confirmed he was happy with arrangements as they stand.
So if you lay awake at 4am worrying about your data backup and security – don’t! Contact 24/7 Uptime and we’ll be happy to take care of this so you can sleep soundly at night.
So why not celebrate by trialling our offsite data backup? Go on, you know it’s worth it!
……. so your offsite data backup is a ‘no brainer’ for me!” Those were the exact words quoted by a client last week. And, of course, she’s right. £5 per month is nothing, compared to the peace of mind you get from knowing all your critical data is protected by 24/7 Uptime. And, once the system is installed, you don’t need to do anything at all. So that’s one less thing to worry about …..
It’s all very well using backup tapes, hard drives and CDs to take care of your data backup and having employees store them safely off site – but what do you do about your data security when it snows a blizzard as it’s doing this week? (more…)
