World Backup Day – Protect your business with Labgroup!
Missed #WorldBackupDay on March, 31st? Don’t worry! Labgroup provides you every day all year with data protection services your company may need!
Why is everyone concerned about “backup” and “data protection”?
Because data are a valuable asset that must be protected to ensure the long-lasting success of the company. As a matter of fact, should an incident or a disaster occur, the loss of information may result in declining reputation, service interruption, a decrease in earnings or even failure. It is, therefore, crucial to safeguard the business continuity, developing and maintaining the ability to recover from an IT disaster.
This is the intent of the World Backup Day: remind us how essential it is to protect our data, keeping at least one copy of our computer files backed up in a device other than your internal storage to avoid a possible files loss.
Being a specialist for preservation of information, Labgroup provides, of course, data protection solutions to help your company to:
– Back up your data regularly, automatically, remotely and safely.
– Restore yourself individual files, databases and emails!
– Recover the system files, the applications and the data in disaster recovery scenario.
– Continue business operations using the Internet to access your servers that have been recovered in the Labgroup private cloud.

CNPD: vidéos animées sur le futur règlement européen en matière de protection des données
Dans le cadre de la Journée de la protection des données, qui a eu lieu le 28 janvier 2017, la Commission Nationale pour la Protection des Données (CNPD) a publié trois vidéos animées sur le futur règlement européen en matière de protection des données.
Le 28 janvier était la « Journée de la protection des données ». Le but de cette journée est de sensibiliser les citoyens sur l’importance de la protection de leurs données personnelles et du respect de leurs libertés et droits fondamentaux, en particulier de leur vie privée. C’est la date de l’ouverture à la signature de la « Convention 108 » du Conseil de l’Europe (28 janvier 1981). Cette dernière a été le premier instrument international juridiquement contraignant en la matière. Depuis plus de 35 ans, la convention vise à protéger toute personne contre l’utilisation abusive des données qui la concernent et à assurer la transparence quant aux fichiers et traitements des données personnelles.
Tenir compte de la globalisation et de l’émergence de nouvelles technologies, qui ont repoussé les limites traditionnelles qui modéraient la disponibilité de données sur notre personnalité, notre entourage et nos habitudes de vie, un nouveau règlement général sur la protection des données a été établi et sera, à partir du 25 mai 2018, applicable à tous les acteurs intervenant sur le territoire de l’Union européenne. Les nouvelles règles consistent à donner aux citoyens plus de contrôle sur leurs données personnelles, à responsabiliser davantage les entreprises tout en réduisant leurs charges déclaratives et à renforcer le rôle des autorités de protection des données tel que la CNPD.
