Ian Jalbert, 610-495-3354, ian.jalbert@ironmountain.com As most small to mid-sized companies grow, so does the mountain of their data. Servers & storage devices reach their capacity, then companies transfer the data to hard drives or tapes & store them in unsecure places that are not meant to store magnetic media. By doing this, not only does it put their data at risk of being stolen, but can open up lawsuits & major loss of business.Here are some strategies your company should consider before storing your data-off site:1) Understand how your data is being protected. Is the data encrypted? Is it kept at someone's home? Is it at a bank that's closed on weekends & holidays? Or is it stored in climate controlled vault with a fire suppression unit? 2) If you're using the cloud, where exactly is your data stored? Is it in Tornado Alley? Or is it 220 feet below ground in a state of the art data center unsusceptible to natural disasters? Is your data replicated to a second site? Is your data kept in your country?3) Know what data you are required to retain and for how long.
