New Report on Data Recovery Operations
As the use of third-party data recovery service providers continues to increase, so does the potential for a data breach to occur during the data recovery process. Every corporate IT support organization knows data storage device failure is inevitable. Whether it results from a dropped computer, a malware attack or a spilled cup of company. Not only can a crashed drive result in a business disruption, it is now becoming more evident that the consequence of using an unscrupulous data recovery vendor can be the loss or theft of sensitive and confidential information. Released in January 2012, Trends in Security of Data Recovery Operations was conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by DriveSavers. This report discusses the practices and policies organizations should put in place to avoid a data breach from a crashed drive. http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/certification/drivesavers-library/
