Is your data safe in a data center
12 July 2022Every company runs the risk of a cyberattack. Sensitive business and personal data can be “leaked”.
You want your business information stored in a safe place. Of course, you would prefer to manage it yourself, but it is safer to store your data in a cloud environment at an external data center. What do you actually know about the data center where you work in the cloud?
The advantages of your cloud in a data center instead of servers at the office
- Management of your ICT environment in the cloud is done by ICT specialists.
- Cooling and energy consumption is more efficient, because multiple environments are managed.
- Security cameras (no one can just walk in, which often can happen at the office).
Data centers differ!
What you should pay attention to are the security standards:
- Is the data center ISO certified?
- Is the data center well secured?
- Can you easily enter the building?
- Can you easily access the server rooms?
- Is there video surveillance?
- Is the data center located in the Netherlands? So you can be sure you are dealing with Dutch laws and regulations regarding data and privacy?
