🛑 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.
