Data problems can affect small businessesA spokesperson for Small Business Computing has highlighted the important of data protection for businesses.She warned that data loss could affect not only a business' finances, but also its "integrity" and "reputation". "Losing data that is important can breach confidentiality," she added. The spokesperson advised small businesses to ensure they have a security policy in place and that "good policies are enforced". In addition, she suggested that disaster recovery needs to be considered and that firms should look at having a secondary back-up system off-site. According to statistics from the Boston Computer Network, six per cent of all PCs will be affected by a data loss incident in any given year. Meanwhile, 31 per cent of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
