Many people have lost their sensitive data either by system failure, hard disk crash, device malfunctioning, manual mistakes or thefts. According to the latest statistics, 280 million people worldwide have lost crucial data in the past three years.
There have been some similar cases in the UK Ministry of Defence, HMRC, private organisations and more, and individuals have lost their data. Data loss can have a devastating effect on many large companies as their whole data base could be lost.
On average, 34 data loss incidents are reported every month.
