Disaster Recovery as a Service

 

One of the most critical functions for any enterprise today is keeping a robust backup of data which can be restored during a disaster situation. There are multiple ways to tackle a server or HDD failure but to come out of a full system or site failure is still a myth for many companies. Having a disaster recovery plan is not enough today. What businesses need today is an end to end solution to provide them with a peace of mind where the whole team is informed on how to face a disaster and move to rapid recovery solutions. There are some critical questions which need to be answered by any company utilising DR services be it a DR provider or DR consumer, for example:

 

  • What is the frequency of data backup?
  • Retention days?
  • How long is the downtime before data is made accessible to end users?
  • How do users access the data?
  • What is the level of support provided during a crisis?
  • Is there a way to ascertain if the data backed up is accurate or if there is any corruption to the data?
  • Is there a way to do live DR?
  • Is it possible to save some money and live with a cold DR.
  • Are we talking about huge investments (CAPEX) or do we have pay as you go options, monthly billing?
  • Is the solution agile?

 

These are a few critical questions that can adversely affect your enterprise and could spell disaster for your business.

 

We at 2MTech understand the criticality of your business and at the same time we fully respect your data privacy and confidentiality. The perfect solution to these criteria is an unmatched DR solution. There are multiple ways a company can chose to protect their information which includes their data, application etc. Given below is a brief introduction to the available options with 2MTech:

 

HOT DR – Mainly suited for business-critical environments with mission critical data – Enterprises in this category may span banks, insurance and hospitals to name a few. Typically, a live DR also termed as HOT DR is recommended, seamlessly switching over to DR data in the case of unforeseen circumstances giving transparency to the end users and clients. These are applicable both on physical as well as virtual servers. In a HOT DR generally the expenses could be higher as companies tend to mirror data in their production system thereby having to invest in servers, storage, communication links, firewall etc. so as to easily switch over without downtime.

 

COLD DR – In this case a Cold DR generally doesn’t require the client to maintain a live copy of his data and a manual data copy and transfers are done to the DR site. These are mainly looked as offsite backups rather than a DR site.

General Data Protection Regulation

 

 

Privacy is considered to be an international fundamental human right and it has become imperative for us to protect it given its vulnerable nature. Data protection and privacy has never been so much of a hot topic as now.

 

On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect, and it now governs how organizations manage their data processing and protection policies. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in costly penalties, not to mention damage to reputation.

 

GDPR – THE DEVIL IS IN THE DATA

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), adopted by the European Union in 2016, came into effect with the aim to better protect EU citizens from privacy and data breaches. Also aimed at data controllers and processors who process personal data on EU individuals, the GDPR has extra-territorial applicability and will also be effective to any person or organisation outside Europe that holds or uses the personal data of a European citizen.

PROTECTING PERSONAL DATA

 

According to the regulation a “personal data breach” is “a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

 

GDPR introduces more stringent rules in relation to data protection and privacy. All systems and services that process personal data must be designed with data protection in mind and specific technical and organisational measures must be implemented to safeguard this information during processing.

 

MAURITIUS DATA PROTECTION ACT 2017 & IT’S LINK TO GDPR

 

Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 (“DPA 2017”), applicable since 15th January 2018, has replaced the Data Protection Act 2004.  The Act aims at aligning with the GDPR and simultaneously fostering a business-friendly environment by attracting foreign direct investment.

 

BUSINESS: UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL

 

Instead of seeing GDPR as a “data blocker”, you should be looking at it as the path to the future of data. It is a big shift change, but it’s also about how you embrace that change. GDPR is a great reminder to businesses that people lend their information and organisations have a responsibility to look after it. It’s not just about confidentiality, it’s about integrity, accuracy and availability – and it’s just plain good business practice.

 

GDPR in fact presents the opportunity for businesses to “reset” how they use and collate data from their customers. It will prompt new ways of thinking, and bring about more trust and transparency.  It will also enable better business practices and the ability to make more informed decisions.

 

 

MORE THAN JUST TECHNOLOGY – People, Process & Technology

 

The belief that data privacy is mainly an IT issue is both short-sighted and dangerous. In the digital age, data is one of the most critical business assets and customers engage with businesses that they trust with their data.  Certainly, technology plays a critical role in managing data privacy, as it enables efficient and effective execution of controls, but processes and people matter as much as – if not more than – technology. Your processes, systems and technologies then need to be aligned with those policies.

 

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR NON – COMPLIANCE

 

DPA 2017 is a legislation that must be taken seriously, and the possible penalties illustrate just how serious non-compliance could be for any company. There are various offences and criminal penalties under this Act which, in general if committed, is sanctioned by a court of law. For instance, failure to comply with the notification of a personal data breach under the DPA 2017 will expose any company to a fine not exceeding 200,000 rupees and to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years.

 

Under the Mauritian jurisdiction, the Data Protection Act of 2017 will be the governing law. Data controllers/processors must ensure strict adherence to the DPA of 2017.

 

Organizations that fail to comply with the guidelines under the GDPR could face a fine up to 4 % of global revenue or €20 million (whichever is the higher value). Companies that fail to conduct impact assessments following a security breach, or who fail to notify the relevant security authority following a breach, could face a fine of 2 % of global revenue.

 

 

HOW CAN WE HELP?

 

There is a tendency to think that GDPR is just an IT related issue involving security of systems with hackers breaking in and stealing organisations’ data. However, it extends wider than systems and security.

 

At 2MTech Services Ltd we can help organizations to identify, manage data and protect their business line.  From carrying out an assessment of all company data to ensuring secure and practical management of that data, we tailor our solutions to suit the needs and demands of each individual business today and into the future.

One of the most critical functions for any enterprise today is keeping a robust backup of data which can be restored during a disaster situation. There are multiple ways to tackle a server or HDD failure but to come out of a full system or site failure is still a myth for many companies. Having a disaster recovery plan is not enough today. What businesses need today is an end to end solution to provide them with a peace of mind where the whole team is informed on how to face a disaster and move to rapid recovery solutions. There are some critical questions which need to be answered by any company utilising DR services be it a DR provider or DR consumer, for example:

 

  • What is the frequency of data backup?
  • Retention days?
  • How long is the downtime before data is made accessible to end users?
  • How do users access the data?
  • What is the level of support provided during a crisis?
  • Is there a way to ascertain if the data backed up is accurate or if there is any corruption to the data?
  • Is there a way to do live DR?
  • Is it possible to save some money and live with a cold DR.
  • Are we talking about huge investments (CAPEX) or do we have pay as you go options, monthly billing?
  • Is the solution agile?

 

These are a few critical questions that can adversely affect your enterprise and could spell disaster for your business.

 

We at 2MTech understand the criticality of your business and at the same time we fully respect your data privacy and confidentiality. The perfect solution to these criteria is an unmatched DR solution. There are multiple ways a company can chose to protect their information which includes their data, application etc. Given below is a brief introduction to the available options with 2MTech:

 

HOT DR – Mainly suited for business-critical environments with mission critical data – Enterprises in this category may span banks, insurance and hospitals to name a few. Typically, a live DR also termed as HOT DR is recommended, seamlessly switching over to DR data in the case of unforeseen circumstances giving transparency to the end users and clients. These are applicable both on physical as well as virtual servers. In a HOT DR generally the expenses could be higher as companies tend to mirror data in their production system thereby having to invest in servers, storage, communication links, firewall etc. so as to easily switch over without downtime.

 

COLD DR – In this case a Cold DR generally doesn’t require the client to maintain a live copy of his data and a manual data copy and transfers are done to the DR site. These are mainly looked as offsite backups rather than a DR site.

General Data Protection Regulation

 

 

Privacy is considered to be an international fundamental human right and it has become imperative for us to protect it given its vulnerable nature. Data protection and privacy has never been so much of a hot topic as now.

 

On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect, and it now governs how organizations manage their data processing and protection policies. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in costly penalties, not to mention damage to reputation.

 

GDPR – THE DEVIL IS IN THE DATA

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), adopted by the European Union in 2016, came into effect with the aim to better protect EU citizens from privacy and data breaches. Also aimed at data controllers and processors who process personal data on EU individuals, the GDPR has extra-territorial applicability and will also be effective to any person or organisation outside Europe that holds or uses the personal data of a European citizen.

PROTECTING PERSONAL DATA

 

According to the regulation a “personal data breach” is “a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

 

GDPR introduces more stringent rules in relation to data protection and privacy. All systems and services that process personal data must be designed with data protection in mind and specific technical and organisational measures must be implemented to safeguard this information during processing.

 

MAURITIUS DATA PROTECTION ACT 2017 & IT’S LINK TO GDPR

 

Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 (“DPA 2017”), applicable since 15th January 2018, has replaced the Data Protection Act 2004.  The Act aims at aligning with the GDPR and simultaneously fostering a business-friendly environment by attracting foreign direct investment.

 

BUSINESS: UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL

 

Instead of seeing GDPR as a “data blocker”, you should be looking at it as the path to the future of data. It is a big shift change, but it’s also about how you embrace that change. GDPR is a great reminder to businesses that people lend their information and organisations have a responsibility to look after it. It’s not just about confidentiality, it’s about integrity, accuracy and availability – and it’s just plain good business practice.

 

GDPR in fact presents the opportunity for businesses to “reset” how they use and collate data from their customers. It will prompt new ways of thinking, and bring about more trust and transparency.  It will also enable better business practices and the ability to make more informed decisions.

 

 

MORE THAN JUST TECHNOLOGY – People, Process & Technology

 

The belief that data privacy is mainly an IT issue is both short-sighted and dangerous. In the digital age, data is one of the most critical business assets and customers engage with businesses that they trust with their data.  Certainly, technology plays a critical role in managing data privacy, as it enables efficient and effective execution of controls, but processes and people matter as much as – if not more than – technology. Your processes, systems and technologies then need to be aligned with those policies.

 

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR NON – COMPLIANCE

 

DPA 2017 is a legislation that must be taken seriously, and the possible penalties illustrate just how serious non-compliance could be for any company. There are various offences and criminal penalties under this Act which, in general if committed, is sanctioned by a court of law. For instance, failure to comply with the notification of a personal data breach under the DPA 2017 will expose any company to a fine not exceeding 200,000 rupees and to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years.

 

Under the Mauritian jurisdiction, the Data Protection Act of 2017 will be the governing law. Data controllers/processors must ensure strict adherence to the DPA of 2017.

 

Organizations that fail to comply with the guidelines under the GDPR could face a fine up to 4 % of global revenue or €20 million (whichever is the higher value). Companies that fail to conduct impact assessments following a security breach, or who fail to notify the relevant security authority following a breach, could face a fine of 2 % of global revenue.

 

 

HOW CAN WE HELP?

 

There is a tendency to think that GDPR is just an IT related issue involving security of systems with hackers breaking in and stealing organisations’ data. However, it extends wider than systems and security.

 

At 2MTech Services Ltd we can help organizations to identify, manage data and protect their business line.  From carrying out an assessment of all company data to ensuring secure and practical management of that data, we tailor our solutions to suit the needs and demands of each individual business today and into the future.
