???? WORLD BACKUP DAY – MARCH 31 ????

Are you prepared for data loss? ????????

Every year on March 31 is World Backup Day, the day to reflect on the importance of a good backup strategy. Because let’s face it: how often do you think about securing your data until it’s too late?

???? Why is backup essential?

Data loss can happen to anyone, whether due to a cyber attack, hardware failure or human error. Without proper backup, this can have major consequences, such as:

✅ Business downtime – No access to crucial documents? That can cost a lot of money!
✅ Cyber attacks – Ransomware encrypts your data and demands a ransom. With a backup, you’re protected.
✅ Legislation and compliance – New regulations such as NIS2 (as of Q3 2025) place stricter requirements on cybersecurity and backups.

???? What is the NIS2 guideline?

From Q3 2025, the NIS2 (Network and Information Security 2) Directive will come into force. This is a new EU law that sets stricter requirements for companies in terms of:

???? Cybersecurity measures – Companies must have their IT security in order.
???? Risk management and backups – Regular backups are a requirement for compliance.
???? Incident reporting – Companies must report cyber incidents immediately.

This means organizations need to think seriously about their backup strategy to stay compliant and avoid penalties.
