Procedure rationaleNGN is thoroughly evaluating our enterprise backup solution with the intent to adopt certain components using native technologies at our disposal. This strategic move aims to enhance alignment with our overarching business strategic objectives. A comprehensive review of the solution is essential, necessitating considerable time and resources to execute. This will enable NGN to make an informed decision regarding our future backup landscape architecture, subsequently allowing us to initiate a formal tender process with well-defined requirements. Terminating this service at the end of its current contract would place NGN in a highly compromised position, whereby we would be operating our critical production IT systems without the capability to back up and restore NGN data in the event of data loss or a cyber security attack. This would also mean that the governance, risk, and compliance policies and procedures we have agreed to would become unattainable, putting NGN at risk of audit breaches with the regulator and other audit committees, potentially resulting in financial penalties and reputational damage.
