Data loss is no laughing matter. The negative impacts of this problem can ruin a small business. Some companies spend thousands of dollars recovering lost customer records via legal fees, audits, notification letters, compensation services, and other expenses. In addition, lost productivity costs add up as employee time is diverted from other projects. Then, one must consider the opportunity costs from increased customer turnover due to skepticism and concern stemming from such events. With the possibility of devastating complications always present, small businesses must take steps to prevent data loss in order to survive and keep up with the competition.
