2 Data Security protects your company against those things that we think won t ever happen, but invariably always do. THE OLD WAY Data Loss, Downtime, & Disaster Trying to manage your own data resiliency and backup plan is just flirting with disaster. Each financial record, each customer history, each internal strategy memo, they are all valuable. Many companies are finding out flaws in their data recovery and resiliency plans the hard way. Data security isn t just about having a carbon copy somewhere. No, it s about being resilient. When disaster strikes and it takes 14 days to recover, your company is unlikely to wade through the storm. And when disaster strikes and you aren t prepared, try explaining it to your superiors. 48-percent of IT managers would rather sing Lady Gaga solo in front of the whole company, and 17-percent would rather get their teeth pulled without painkillers, than admit to losing sensitive company data. In case you slept through science class, that number is $12 Billion. That s a whole lot. It s also the amount of money lost to data security breaches. Each and every year. Golden can protect you and your business assets. Some years ago the annual cost of data loss was calculated as just around $12 billion in the U.S. alone. What does that mean for a single company? Well, the average data loss event costs 2- to 5-percent of total company revenues with the average company seeing just over two per year. Disaster While 95-percent of IT decision-makers claim to have some disaster recovery plan in place, less than 44-percent include an offsite or cloud-based backup as The Largest Causes of Data Loss Hardware Failure Theft Human Error Viruses Software Error Hardware Distruction

3 part of that plan. When disaster does strike, too often disaster recovery solutions are taken down at the same time as the data itself. But unavoidable disasters are just one part of the puzzle. 57-percent of declared disasters in 2010 are attributable not to a natural disaster or even a power failure. Instead the majority of these incidents were directly attributed to IT hardware, software, or networking failures. Downtime The costliest element about disaster preparedness and data recovery is in the downtime. Even with the most robust data recovery solution in place, the cost of being without that data while it s restored is immense. Forrester Research found that of the 55-percent of companies that calculate their downtime costs, the average cost per hour soared at almost $350,000. Without managed data security, you could be without mission-critical data for up to 5 days. Imagine a full week of paid workers, at their stations, with no data with which to work. It s a costly chance to take. THE GOLDEN WAY Offsite, Secure, Resilient Call it what you will: disaster recovery, data security, or corporate resiliency. Without a proactive force behind your company s data solution, there is a low likelihood that it s effective enough to avoid major costs Rather than apply a one-size solution across hundreds of clients, we understand that the real value of data security is in the details: an intimate knowledge of your systems and data storage, a blueprint for nearimmediate recovery of missing data, a rigorous test of compliance with major standards, and a custom plan to ensure that more mundane instances of data loss are avoided in the first place. Compliance With offices of experts, we make it a point to be read up on all major standards. For our customers, compliance is as easy as checking with our engineers. Though the majority (56-percent) of in-house IT professionals claim to spend the bulk of their time on compliance, they still suffer major data issues. Compliance with standards is rarely enough to protect from anything beyond litigation. Luckily, we ll ensure that you re both compliant and safe. Imagine not insuring your new Ferrari, parking it on the tracks and just hoping a train won t come. This is life without data security. Custom-Tailored Solutions 50-percent of critical corporate data is stored directly on unprotected PCs, laptops, or other personal of declared disasters aren t natural disasters or power related. They re data breaches. of businesses have no offsite or cloud-based solution in place. Without one, they re likely to become a statistic. DON T BE A VICTIM OF A costly & AVOIDABLE BREACH NOt having a plan in place is costly & stressful

A solution to your data security goes beyond just putting a few big hard-drives on the network and sending data up to our cloud. No, it means a certain amount of subtle institutional change. At Golden Tech, we pride ourselves on being engineers above anything else. When we craft a data security and resiliency solution for your company, we take into account your internal processes and any inherent security flaws therein. Once we know where the data is, we create a strategy to ensure that it gets backed up with minimal systemic change. Indeed, through this process we often expose inefficiencies that can gain hours of productivity for our clients. Proactive & Remotely Monitored Just over one-third of data backup systems are tested and monitored. More than three-quarters of that third find major systemic flaws with their backup system when they test them. Imagine an auto insurance policy. You pay a hefty monthly sum for 3 years. When a tree falls on your car, you call your agent and find out that he s been pocketing your premiums. You won t be covered. This is what it s like to have backup hardware and software in place without proactive monitoring. You re paying premiums for no coverage. Luckily, at Golden Tech, we remotely monitor all our clients data security systems and our own cloud systems. We ll know well before you will if a problem arises. If it does, we ll fix it and let you know that all is still well. This is what its like to have real peace of mind.
