The Importance of Vault Services

Security is a major concern for companies these days, whether it’s cyber or otherwise. In fact, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates that nearly 40% of businesses never reopen their doors after a disaster and only 29% are still in operation two years afterward. It makes you think — if disaster were to strike your business now, would you have the means to recover? If a flood, fire, espionage or virus were to present themselves, how long do you think it would take to get back up and running? Our comprehensive vault storage plan could be the key to your company’s well being by keeping the most sensitive records offsite, secure and accessible. In the event that disaster does strike, your most important files will be safe and easily restored to have you back on track in as little time as possible.
