Why Data Protection & Business Continuity Should Be a Business Priority — Not Just an IT Task
⚠️ The Wake-Up Call Most Businesses Get Too Late
Most companies think their backup is “good enough” — until it isn’t.
Imagine this:
A ransomware attack locks access to your financial system. Your backups are outdated. Your recovery time? Unknown.
Meanwhile, customers are calling, and your CFO is panicking.
This isn't rare.
In Malaysia alone, over 2,000 companies were hit by ransomware in 2023 — and many of them had some form of backup. The problem? It wasn’t part of a real business continuity plan.
🏢 Real Case: Logistics Company vs. Ransomware
A Wiki Labs client — a national logistics company — suffered a ransomware attack that:
Encrypted their shipment and tracking data
Took down internal systems for 2 days
Caused delays across 11 warehouse hubs
They had backups — but they weren’t isolated, so attackers encrypted those too.
Wiki Labs helped them implement:
Immutable backup systems
Air-gapped copies across cloud and on-prem
A full BCDR (Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery) framework
The next time a threat appeared, they recovered operations in under 45 minutes — no ransom paid.

Every 11 seconds, a business falls victim to ransomware (Cybersecurity Ventures)
The average cost of downtime is RM 30,000 – RM 80,000 per hour in regulated industries (Deloitte SEA)
60% of the companies that suffer a major data loss shut down within 6 months (CNBC)
🧠What Business Continuity Really Means
It’s not just about backing up files.
A true Data Protection & Business Continuity strategy includes:
Automated backups with integrity checks
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) planning
Immutable storage to prevent tampering
Failover systems for critical services
Regular drills to ensure your team knows what to do
Think of it as your business’ emergency muscle memory.
