Computer security is more important today than it has ever been
All company directors and owners have a responsibility under the Data Protection Act and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) laws to protect any personally identifiable information that they may hold, whether that be for staff, suppliers, customers, email subscribers etc.
The Information Commissioners Office has strong powers to enforce theses laws, and does so. In 2020 the ICO fined Cathay Pacific Airways £500,000 for failing to protect the security of its customers’ personal data. They have also fined British Airways £20m after a data breach revealed information on over 400,000 customers and Marriott Hotels were fined £18.4 for a data breach that they failed to report in a timely manner.
Network Midlands can work with you to keep you from falling foul of the law. We can help you develop a Business Continuity Plan (sometimes called a disaster recovery plan) to keep your business working during and after a natural or man made interruption to your business process.
We also offer a secure cloud backup service to keep your data safe, a data recovery service for those times when you lose data or the back-up has failed and a secure data destruction service so that, when you dispose of your old computers, all your company confidential information is completely destroyed.
