How data backup and secure data storage is undertaken in your home or office should be of prime importance as it is here that most instances of data loss occur. We can help ensure that your staff only have access to the files they require, that your storage systems are encrypted, and that you have a common-sense policy to remain GDPR compliant. Ask yourself how you would react if you lost all your data tomorrow. We can help you to mitigate any risks today.
Your business data is most vulnerable when stored on-site without proper backup procedures. Theft, misuse, or accidental deletion can quickly occur when files are stored unencrypted on easily accessible, unsecured workstations.
A ransom or malware attack on your local office network can lock or corrupt essential files. This is an additional risk and concern if you haven’t got a recent data backup/sync to rely upon.
QLine IT services allow you to have all your workstations’ data, including emails and SharePoint documents, automatically backed up. Our backups are centralised and encrypted (and therefore GDPR compliant) on a UK storage server. Using an out-of-hours schedule that will never impact your company’s IT infrastructure.
QLine IT will efficiently and remotely restore the necessary data when recovery is required, ensuring a significant reduction in downtime. Utilising a sync tool to align SharePoint or a standalone data backup solution, we guarantee that your data will be restored within minutes.
Contact us to help create a complete data backup and sync solution plan. This is easily adaptable and straightforward for all your staff to understand. Instant disaster recovery protection for your business.
Secure Offsite Data Backup + Sync
A secure offsite data backup is an enhanced step-up from keeping just a local copy on your computer.
Our automated background data backup and sync process occurs without your staff remembering to back up, so human error is no longer a potential factor in data loss. QLine IT also offers 30-day versioning, meaning any file revision within that period is recoverable. You no longer must worry about the contents of an important document or spreadsheet being accidentally overwritten by staff or your Clients. Should you ever be unfortunate enough to suffer a ransom or malware attack, versioning also allows us to restore your data by rolling back to a specific date.
Our server providers are located within heavily secured UK data centres, using military-grade encryption without public access. Not only are you protected against direct theft, but it’s also your best option in protecting against cybercrime attacks and never experiencing a loss of critical company data.
In compliance with the recently introduced GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), all the server providers QLine IT use are based within the EU. This allows for a smooth transition from your current system and no requirement to notify your customers. Daily reports are also available, so you can easily track exactly what data you have stored in your offsite data backup at all times.
Sync Data Storage
It would help if you had synchronous data solutions for a seamless working environment across multiple sites, devices and personnel.
Data sync backup allows you to enjoy the benefits of having a completely secure, off-site data backup service. The benefit is having that data available to selected staff on demand, regardless of whether they are in the same office, working from home or even in a different country.
As with a regular off-site backup, your data will be stored in secure data centres within the EU to simplify your ability to remain GDPR compliant. It also features up to 30 days of versioning, making data easily recoverable.
Other features include SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) so your uploads and downloads cannot be intercepted, 256-bit encryption – the standard for military & government-owned data and two-factor authentication, so you can be sure any data on a device taken outside your organisation is safe from theft.
Of course, in practice, this technology works better by allowing your workforce to be more productive. Staff can collaborate on documents from different departments or offices, and share documents in a meeting, such as Microsoft Teams.
Contact us with your requirements and we can provide a tailored package for your data backup and sync needs.
NAS Storage
A NAS (network-attached storage) drive acts as a combination of online data storage combined with all the functionality of a traditional (larger, noisier and less economical) file server, allowing your business to retain complete control of your data whilst allowing access to staff that require it, across all of their devices. Hierarchical controls enable you to keep sensitive data secured and available only on a level-by-level basis.
NAS technology can be a more cost-effective solution for all businesses that need to keep a large volume of data available to their workforce. Online storage can be limited by data size and have upload restrictions on active files. Selecting a NAS drive can offset online storage restrictions with the added benefits of a centralised and encrypted backup device. Additional features include hierarchical access, peer-to-peer networking and intuitive security protocols.
A NAS system is customisable to your business’s needs and can be as secure as all other backup and storage solutions. It can be installed alongside your network infrastructure in only a few hours. QLine IT uses Synology as our chosen provider.
