The security of your data is of the utmost importance to us at the Wizarts
Data protection is crucial for protecting your business's continuity. If your only data backup is on a computer, and the hard disk fails or is damaged, or is stolen, your business data is gone. Having printed paper copies of data isn't adequate data protection; what if the business premises was to burn down or experience severe flooding? Once again the data you need to carry on your business could be irretrievably lost forever.
At the Wizarts we have automated procedures in place for the backing up and Archiving of all our data. We also have stringent measures in place for file security to ensure that there is no question of that security being compromised.
Each customer has specific requirements, but our basic measures are:
- Secure destruction of media
- Strong firewall implementation
- Raid Drive Systems
- Regular automated backup and off site
archiving of all data
Some simple tips and guidelines for adequate data backup of work
- Archive data regularly
- Use reliable media
- Store backups in a secure, off-site location.
Think about what would happen if you lost a particular section of data and if it would interfere with the daily running of your business? If so, then back it up!

Always identifying the critical data that needs to be archived
and using a data backup method, back it up on a regular basis. Software programs, don’t need to be backed up because you can reinstall them quite easily. However, all of the files that you’ve created and/or modified should be regularly backed up. For many businesses, this includes everything from daily working files, accounting files and email files. You may like to simplify your backup and archiving procedures by keeping all the files that will need to be archived on a single drive.
Once you've selected the critical data to be archived, it's a simple matter to install and use a backup software program to archive your business data on a regular time schedule. It's recommended to back up your data nightly. There are many backup software programs available that allow you to set a schedule that will archive your data automatically. Look for backup software that zips and encrypts files to save disk space and increase data security. If possible, backup over your computer network, keeping your data backup files on a separate hard drive from the original files.
