Data Protection Assessment
IT organizations today face many challenges to existing data security protection capabilities from a variety of sources. Corporate information growth averages anywhere between 50 - 80%. Backup systems strain to meet reasonable backup windows and SLAs for the recovery of information systems security. Other corporate governance initiatives—encryption, archiving and eDiscovery, business continuity, remote office backups, and data immutability—all pressure current information security technology and data protection strategies.
To resolve current business data protection problems or to effectively craft a data security protection strategy requires a detailed understanding of the current data protection environment and must also consider a company’s strategic goals, both technical and business. This understanding is ideally developed through the gathering and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative information. This is the fundamental approach behind our Data Protection Assessment:
- Help customers understand, by categorizing and prioritizing, key business data protection pains and IT Risk Assessment
- Monitor and report on the health and key metrics of the current backup protection implementation
- Identify and quantify the key gaps or risks in asset protection and data security protection today
- Provide recommendations for "quick wins" in problem remediation as well as longer term strategic considerations
