Back Up Solutions
Offsite Backup Solutions UK with Control IT
For many businesses, data backup can be somewhat of an afterthought. But the truth is, it’s important to take the time to regularly and thoroughly maintain your security and backup practice. It’s often not until a serious breach occurs that business owners realise the importance of a solid backup system and regret not taking a small amount of time to put measures in place.
Online backup storage solutions can help give you peace of mind that your business is protected, helping contribute to the smooth running of your operation. Having comprehensive data loss prevention methods in place helps to prevent big problems down the line.
At Control IT solutions, we offer extensive backup solutions that cover all the bases. You can be secure in the knowledge that should a data breach occur, your intellectual property will not be compromised.
Why are IT backup procedures important?
In today’s world, there are many ways data can be lost. Malware is constantly developing, and hackers are getting more sophisticated every day. Ransomware is always in the news and media, and cyber criminals are continually finding new ways of entering businesses to encrypt data, hijack files and then demand a ransom in the form of payment to unlock data.
It’s more common than you’d think; according to the National Cyber Security Alliance, 20% of all small businesses are hacked within their first year.
Hardware failure and damaged computers, natural disasters, human error or even disgruntled employees; anything can happen suddenly without warning.
Losing crucial data can set your productivity back, and even cause permanent damage to your company. 93% of companies that lost their data for ten days or more filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster, and 50% filed for bankruptcy immediately (Source: National Archives & Records Administration).
With this in mind, it’s becoming more and more vital to have a versatile and intelligent system in place to protect your company.
Data loss prevention (DLP): Questions
What can I do to protect my business?
Data protection, backup and a thorough DLP strategy should be standard in any business operating procedure. The strategy should aim to protect sensitive information, classified files, intellectual property and anything else that compromises your security. Just a small amount of time invested in preparing for a potential breach is worth it in comparison to the weeks, perhaps even months, to recover from a severe data loss.
How do I know what protection is right for me?
First, it’s a good idea to draw some parameters of what you need to protect. It might be secret information pertaining to your business, credit card details or other personally identifiable information (PII).
You will then need to decide where that information can safely reside and the levels of protection required for each different piece of data. Not all information requires the same amount of security as others.
You will also have to consider what the protocol is should a serious breach take place. What kind of restoration software might you need? What is your recovery plan?
There is a range of DLP software available on the market depending on where your priorities lie. But with so many options to choose from - cloud backup services, syncing services, local backups and DLP solutions, to name just a few - it can be confusing to know exactly what’s right for your particular business.
We do the hard work for you
At Control IT Solutions, we do all the hard work for you. We’ll provide you with the complete backup services your specific business would benefit from.

I had the pleasure of working with James Hilditch from Control IT Solutions in Perth today. The service I received was truly exceptional. He demonstrated a deep understanding of my IT needs, providing effective solutions that significantly improved my operations. Communication was clear and timely, and his technical expertise was evident throughout the collaboration. I highly recommend Control IT Solutions for any business looking to enhance its technological capabilities and security.
Thank you very much for all help recently. From helping us with our own internal systems to setting up our clients with cloud computing software like Office 365, you have been a pleasure to work with. We would have absolutely no hesitations in recommending you to anyone in need of desktop support.
Steve has helped my dental practice transfer from a slow out dated computer hardware system to a much faster and easier to use system. The software transfer from the old to new system was seamless which in turn minimised business downtime. Since installation the hardware has been well monitored and supported by Steve. The level of service has been fantastic so far!
Control IT recently helped us with our move of premises and we couldn't be happier with their work. Very friendly and efficient.
Highly recommended. Thanks again.
"We would like to thank you for your attention to detail, support and super efficient service and would highly recommend your service and skills to our wider networks"
Control IT helped us upgrade our systems, email and accounting software, as well as setting us up on the cloud and linking all our calendars together.
Their expertise in all matters helped us transition into our new office and I thank them for all the effort they put in.
Control IT is truly a great company and I can, without doubt, recommend them to both customers and business associates safe in the knowledge that they will put everything they can into the work they have been tasked with.
Control IT Solutions has been helping our dental practice for a while now and they have never let us down. Their speedy and preventative approach to IT problems is effective. Highly recommend as a dental practice.
Doesn’t all this Cyber bullying etc get you worried. Being a Willwriter I have lots of clients sensitive information and wishes for the future, I am so grateful that I have Steve Snow in my camp, I have hourly back up of all my data and then a secondary back up just for piece of mind, it all goes on in the background and Steve’s on it if anything flags up, for less than a decent coffee a day it’s a no brainer! Couldn’t recommend anyone better!
Through the data backups and seamless remote monitoring which has detected and fixed issues before I was aware they had appeared, to the way you made achieving Cyber Essentials accreditation a simple and easy process and provides my clients with the confidence that their information is safe in my systems.
I am truly grateful for all your support and cannot recommend your services highly enough. Every business needs Control IT Solutions supporting them.
Thank you
I found Control IT Solutions very helpful, identified our needs and weaknesses with system and found best packages, then explained how they would operate the installation and walked us through our new software. Top service from start to finish, highly recommend to any company that needs IT support.
We are delighted to have achieved our Cyber Essentials accreditation with the assistance of Control IT Solutions, so much so that we have now engaged them to provide our IT support.
Thanks for your help which is always quick and efficient and never judgemental!. You give us great service and its greatly appreciated.
We started working with Steve over a year ago and he has been absolutely amazing every step of the way!
We had a new computers installed into 4 of our surgeries and reception area - we are a busy NHS & Private dental practice & Steve was so quick & flexible with moving them over with no disruption to the practice. We have recently undergone a renovation within the practice and needed our computers moved into the new reception area, again Steve was beyond helpful & again, there was no disruption to our working areas.
Also he is a great laugh & never fails to put a smile on all our staff's faces when he visits and is always at the end of the phone whenever we have any problems. Would highly recommend control IT to anyone!
Excellent business support from Control IT Solutions. Steve and Bryan are always on hand to help, from the simplest little issues, scheduled maintenance and updates all the way through to more complex, time consuming problems. They are quick, efficient, solution orientated and very friendly at all times.
Steve has recently helped me recover significant amounts of data, files and most specifically, extremely "valuable" photographs that I thought were lost. They were spread over two old laptops and an external hard drive. Steve recovered everything, set it all in order and secured and provided a new external drive sufficient for ten times the amount of material I am starting with. His customer service, attention to detail, and determination to provide exactly what you are looking for is exemplary, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services for all and any IT support service; on top of all of that, he is approachable, exceptionally friendly and thoroughly professional at all times. First class service guaranteed!
Thank you Steve for the amazing service on renewing my Cyber Security certificate. I did not realize it expired and when I contacted you were so flexible and accommodating in doing it for me at very short notice.
Very professional and approachable!!
Always an excellent service from Steve and the team @ Control IT Solutions, would highly recommend
As an owner of a small, expanding business, I was looking for a little bit more IT support and knowledge to keep our operations smooth, safe and reliable.
Steve and his team were recommended and I couldn't ask for more. From the first meeting, where they carefully listened to what our business needs, through the quick delivery of the new products and services to ongoing, regular reviews, the Control IT Solutions is truly superb.
No matter how small the issue we have, they can quickly help,and advise on other products we didn't consider and all of it at affordable price point!
Ryan was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was very patient, thorough and efficient. He was able to deal with my request swiftly and without any complications. I am currently based in The Netherlands and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone based in either in the UK or abroad. I also appreciated his sense of humour :)
I just wanted to officially record that Ryan was 1st class last month in helping me with IT issues – knowledgeable, helpful and patient!
Big thanks to him
James has done a fantastic job with us and managing our account. We always get a fast response and he’s managed to sort all of our issues and answer or questions. The setup was handled really well and meant as little disruption for us as possible
James has gone the extra mile for our company today. What was a frustrating gremlin in a file naming with Adobe PDF, James was able to use his programming skills and experience to work out what the issue was. Whats really impressive is he did not give up, he thought over the problem and tried to reach a solution. He did this over his luncthime - very impressive and great service as has always been the case, from Control IT Solutions.
Control IT Solutions support our IT for our small community charity. Hugely helpful staff and no question is a daft one! Very responsive and always keen to help. Very grateful to have them support our organisation :-)
Amazing support and really efficient at actioning requests. Great team and super friendly helpful service
Big thanks to Control IT Solutions & Ruaridh Stevenson for getting my chrome book working again after it picked up a serious bug. I really thought it was going to be wiped clean but thanks to him he saved all my data. Would highly recommend them.
I was looking to buy a new laptop. I had a specification and had found a laptop online but I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for my needs. I contacted Steve who was extremely helpful. He quickly got an understanding of what I needed my laptop for and sourced a more appropriate laptop at a cheaper cost. Steve was extremely helpful and efficient. Within hours he sourced a laptop and it arrived the next day. I would highly recommend Steve. He made the process extremely easy and hassle free saving me a lot of time and stress.
"You have setup our systems, outsourced hardware & software, look after our Cyber Secuirty and monitor the functionality of our systems on an ongoing basis.
This has improved our productivity as a business and gives us peace of mind.
Your Team are clearly very knowledgeable and are always a pleasure to deal with and we cannot wish for a higher level of customer service, and the team at Here’s the Plan think of the team at Control IT Solutions more as colleagues than suppliers.”
The Team constantly go above and beyond what is required and always have time to help. The service level is streets ahead of anything we have encountered before.
We have used CITS for a number of months now and would highly recommend their services to any business looking for IT Support. Big thanks to Ruaridh, in particular, for his patience and professionalism.
An excellent feature is the support section of the business where the top notch service from James and Ruaridh going that extra mile to help fix my world ending problems. Thats why these guys are the experts.. a quick call and the flick of a switch and problem solved… how much time I would have wasted before trying to teach myself the solution to a problem that I would never be able to fix.. As far as DAS Signs is concerned we’ve found a new IT partner and we will be recommending Control IT solutions to every business we know.
We have been using Steve and the team at Control IT Solutions for many years now and I honestly don't know what we would do without them. Recently we have undergone a practice expansion and Steve and team have been a massive help organising new PCs and making sure everything was running smoothly. Whenever we have an issue or query they respond within minutes and always manage to sort whatever the issue is. Highly recommend!
