New Global Survey from Kroll Ontrack Reveals Major Weaknesses in Enterprise
Compliance Policies
Kroll Ontrack recently released the results of a global survey that showed many
companies fail to include data recovery as part of their companies’ compliance
policies, opening themselves up to dire business consequences. Despite the fact
that 78 percent of respondents believe that data recovery is the most important
component of a compliance plan, only 50 percent say it is part of their
company’s compliance policy.
Given the penalties, it is startling that nearly half of respondents, 43
percent, said they don’t believe their companies test their backup systems to
ensure data can be produced if needed. Because natural disasters (i.e. the San
Diego fires and Hurricane Katrina), human error, and software and hardware
malfunctions are unpredictable, this finding reveals that critical electronic
data is in jeopardy of being unrecoverable, making companies vulnerable to
business-halting sanctions.
