When you are thinking about adding a disaster protection service, you assume that the worst-case disasters could be a tornado, flood, or even a hurricane. But there is another type of disaster that can strike with no warning whatsoever. This disaster is called the human error. Human error is, by far, the most common and most frequent cause of business disasters. By definition, human errors are unintentional. Since they occur randomly, the overall impact on your business operations will be negligible.
Having a disaster recovery plan can ensure that everyone knows their role in a high-pressure situation, and that operations can resume smoothly. And the more you prepare in advance, the lower your costs will be.
There have been a number of major studies that have consistently shown that anywhere from 60 to 80% of all corporate data loss can be attributed directly to human error. In our opinion, this is one of the most important areas that companies should focus upon within their disaster planning strategy.

- Accidentally losing backup tapes, or performing backups improperly
- Deleting files by accident
- An employee speaking to the press without company authorization
- Attacks on public services such as water, food, transportation or utilities
- Arson
- Product tampering or targeted external attacks on your company
