Comport Explains Ins and Out of Backup as a Service

The growing risk of malware, ransomware and other cybercrime means that businesses of all sizes need to create plans to prevent data loss during business disruption and preserve continuity.

According to BaaS provider Comport Consulting Corporation, making the switch to a more secure and reliable backup system can reduce risk of loss and interruption.

In the past, creating a backup meant creating physical copies of files and storing them in a secure location. Today, businesses have a better option – backup in the cloud. When files are securely stored in the cloud, you can access them from any location; in the event of a problem with systems, you can recover files and resume regular workflows. BaaS makes this process easy and secure, ensuring you are always covered.

BaaS offers several benefits for brands of all sizes, including: 

• Data Protection: No matter what you do or what industry you are in, your data is an important asset; BaaS can help protect this asset by creating regular, up-to-date copies of everything you create or are working on. This allows to access your customer data and most important files, even if you can’t get to your physical location.
• Affordability: When you opt for BaaS, you do not have to invest in expensive infrastructure or equipment. In addition, your team won’t have to test backups and troubleshoot. You enjoy the benefits of regular and ongoing backup services, worry free.
• Automation: One of the biggest problems with traditional backup methods is that they are not tested frequently, if at all. Many companies lag behind on ensuring their backups are working like they should. When you implement a BaaS solution, updates and uploads are checked by experts regularly; you’ll never have to worry about forgetting to create a backup or losing a file because a backup had not yet been created.
• Supports business initiatives: Now that you team has some extra time on their hands, they can work to solve internal business issues that contribute to the bottom line.

BaaS provides organizations of any size with the peace of mind that comes from knowing important data can be backed up and used, even if the originals are corrupt or no longer available. Opting for BaaS ensures that business has a way to recover in the event of a mishap – it is also the first step towards a DR plan that will protect your business.
