Solving Key Data Protection Challenges with Epis Technology

Top 3 Data Protection Challenges Every Business Must Overcome

Businesses today face more data-related risks than ever before, from ransomware and data fragmentation to new long-term retention requirements. Synology’s 2025 Enterprise Data Management Survey shows that over 90% of organizations lack confidence in their ability to recover mission-critical data after an attack.

For IT teams already juggling hybrid environments, SaaS workloads, and legacy backup systems, these challenges make data protection a strategic priority, not an optional task. Epis Technology helps organizations address these challenges by deploying enterprise-grade Synology solutions that deliver reliable backups, ransomware resilience, and long-term compliance.

1. Rising Cyber Threats and Ransomware Risks

Cyberattacks continue to evolve rapidly, and outdated or fragmented backup systems leave businesses exposed. Many organizations struggle with:

  • No immutability to prevent backup tampering

  • Limited verification of backup integrity

  • Slow recovery speeds after an attack

  • Siloed backup tools that reduce visibility

These issues directly undermine business continuity. With attackers increasingly targeting backup repositories, companies must harden their defenses with a modern, multi-layered approach.

Epis Technology deploys Synology’s ActiveProtect and Active Backup Suite to protect endpoints, servers, and SaaS workloads with immutable backup copies, air-gapped storage, and automated verification checks. This ensures clean, recoverable versions of your data are always available, even during a ransomware attack.

2. Data Sprawl, Limited Visibility, and Complex IT Environments

With hybrid infrastructures, remote teams, and SaaS adoption growing rapidly, data now lives across multiple environments. This leads to:

  • Scattered workloads stored on different systems

  • Inefficient monitoring due to multiple backup tools

  • Higher risk of unprotected or forgotten data

  • Slower recovery times due to poor visibility

Small and medium-sized businesses particularly struggle because they may not have dedicated cybersecurity administrators or internal resources to implement an enterprise-grade strategy.

Larger organizations face different challenges: complex architectures, multi-site operations, and integration issues that reduce centralized control.

Epis Technology consolidates all backups of Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, PCs, servers, and NAS into a single Synology-powered dashboard. This unified management approach eliminates blind spots, improves monitoring, and gives IT teams total visibility into data protection status across all environments.

3. Meeting Long-Term Retention and Compliance Requirements

Regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 require businesses to maintain strict retention policies and store data in specific geographic locations. Challenges include:

  • Retaining data for required timeframes

  • Storing replicas in compliant regions

  • Managing large volumes of long-term archive data

  • Ensuring that retention policies are consistently applied

Data residency laws further complicate matters, especially for multinational organizations that must keep data within specific regional boundaries.

Epis Technology designs and deploys Synology solutions that support:

  • Multi-site, multi-geo storage

  • Automated retention policies (GFS, archives, versioning)

  • On-premises and cloud tiering (Synology C2, Amazon S3, Wasabi)

  • Encrypted regional storage for compliance

Epis Technology ensures every retention plan aligns with your industry regulations and business continuity requirements.
