In this article, we’ll look at why data backup is crucial for you notaries, in preserving the integrity of your deeds and the trust of your clients.
Data backup is essential for your business
Backing up data is an essential element of business continuity for notaries. However, some studies still don’t pay enough attention to the solution they subscribe to, which is all too often ‘integrated’ into a business software package without any guarantees.
But it’s vital to choose the right backup solution, because backing up your data is essential. This ensures that you can quickly restore intact data and get back to business as quickly as possible.
Against a backdrop of increasing computer attacks on all kinds of businesses, notary’s offices, as guarantors of the documents they hold, need to ensure that their data is perfectly secure.
The last bastion of security for notaries
As a notary, you are the custodian of essential legal documents such as deeds of sale, wills, marriage contracts and many others. The security and confidentiality of these documents are of paramount importance to the reputation of your firm.
Basic security reflexes (antivirus, updates, firewall…) are important but ineffective in the event of malicious acts or disasters (burglary, fire, flood…) and are not always invulnerable in the event of a cyber-attack. It is now easier to understand why computer backups are often referred to as the last bastion of IT security.

- Long-term retention of files ;
