IF YOU EXPERIENCED
DATA LOSS?
“...80% of all

months of experiencing

Have you ever considered what would happen to

critical data was lost due to natural disasters or

and recovery plan in place that would allow you
to operate business-as-usual or would you have
to start over from scratch? Houston-based High
Standards Technology, Inc. offers comprehensive
and reliable data recovery and backup solutions
for company’s like yours.

knew that 80% of all businesses without an effective
backup and disaster recovery plan will be forced out
of business within 12 months of experiencing data
loss – would you take action to prevent the loss of your
business? Of the companies that actually do backup
their data regularly, 34% fail to test that their data backup
is working – this will also lead to the inability to recover
from data loss. Properly securing your data and having
a business continuity plan in place will protect you from
the loss of data from natural disasters, human error,
hardware failure, viruses and other issues.
Leading Causes of Data Loss
Depending where you are located geographically,
you may think you are safe from natural disasters like
hurricanes, tornados, and floods. Natural disasters can
happen regardless of your location, or a fire can take
out your entire building and everything inside it – but this
type of data loss, while most often talked about, only
accounts for about 3% of data loss cases!
The leading cause of data loss for businesses is related
to hardware or system malfunctions. In fact, 44% of all
data loss is a result of things like controller failure, head

or media crash, and electrical failure. These are all
things out of your control that could wipe out your data
without warning. The second leading cause for data
loss is a result of human error which accounts for 32% of
all data loss cases. Dropping a laptop can cause trauma
to the device and prevent access to your data.
Software corruption, failed backups, viruses and other
configuration type problems are the cause for 14% of
data losses.
The annual cost to U.S. businesses of data loss is $12
billion (infographicsmania.com).
