When you can show to your manager that business continuity is at stake, then that's probably enough to convince you manager that any data corruption can be lethal.

If possible, use charts or graphs to visually represent the data, highlighting trends or increases in error rates and the correlation with potential business impacts. Offer solutions for addressing the corruption risk, such as: Immediate data backup and recovery procedures. Investigation into the cause of corruption and remediation efforts. Long-term strategies for data integrity monitoring and preventative measures. Invite questions and feedback to ensure the manager understands the severity and urgency of the situation. This also demonstrates your willingness to collaborate on solutions.

Explain the direct business impact of data corruption, including possible data loss, operational outages, and financial repercussions, to the senior manager in order to persuade them of its seriousness. Emphasise how data integrity can be jeopardised by corruption, resulting in erroneous reporting and judgement. Describe the dangers of breaking industry rules in the event that data cannot be recovered. To demonstrate worst-case situations, use case studies or previous accidents. Stress how urgent it is to take remedial action, such as putting backups, recovery plans, and preventive measures in place, and how being proactive may save money and save the company's image.
