You have built a strong company; now it is time to protect it. Your documents can have a lot of information in them that could put your company at risk if it is stolen by hackers or thieves or if it is lost or damaged.

Some of these threats include:
- Employee mistakes: Employees try their hardest to keep things safe but they are only human and human error accounts for around 32% of all data loss so you need to have protection in place in case this occurs. Sometimes they can accidentally delete or misplace files.
- Hardware problems: There are many things that can happen to your hardware such as your hardware collapsing and overheating can happen.
