Do you know that your business is at risk at any moment?

Have you ever considered how long it would take to restore the IT systems that support your business if a failure occurs in the server room or in the data center that serves you? And what would the impact on your business be? Today, the answer may be “No” or it may be “Yes”, but the truth is that daily system outages and cyberattacks happen more often than one can imagine. And they are not just an inconvenience — they can cost us a lot.  

Incidents involving IT systems are a serious risk to your business at any time.

The primary objective of every company is to increase revenue, reduce costs, and ensure business continuity. We often assume that nothing will disrupt the workflow, but many factors are beyond our control. Files can become corrupted, the power supply may fail due to an incident, or a natural disaster may occur. Such unforeseen events should have minimal impact on your business, but to achieve this, a standard backup is not enough.

Let’s calculate the cost of downtime

The truth is that no business is immune to downtime. Whether it’s a natural disaster, an employee error, or even cybercrime, the effect is similar — you and your employees can’t work. What are the consequences?

Loss of revenue

While your systems are down, you can’t generate revenue, while your competitors continue to operate.

Recovery costs

Depending on the incident that has affected you, recovery costs can range from significant to enormous. In some adverse situations—such as permanently lost data—they cannot even be quantified.

Intangible damages

Even if you believe the main damages are financial, intangible losses should not be underestimated. Damage to your reputation and brand can lead to financial losses over a very long period of time. Statistics show that 60% of small businesses cease operations within six months after being hacked.
