Catching a traditional burglar was easier before the Internet and the growth of hackers and identity theft. Although office production policies should reduce the amount of paper being printed or copied, office paper shredders in Charleston SC are now almost a mandatory requirement to ensure that internal and external theft is vastly reduced.
Thieves Used to Visit Your Garbage
By stealing your garbage, burglars used to be able to find enough information to be able to break into your bank account, access your credit cards or build up sufficient data to be able to steal your identity completely.
Office paper shredders in Charleston SC should be used at home as well as within the office so that every private document can be shredded down to the smallest unusable size and the paper sent to recycling facilities.
Within companies, an exceptional amount of private data is held, describing employees, customers and links to financial records. When this is added to the addiction of printing out emails, it is easy to see that office paper shredders in Charleston SC need to implement a policy to ensure that all private information and data is either not printed, kept extremely safe and only accessed by specific individuals.
Bringing in security consultants is vital if you are to ensure that your office and buildings are safe from predators. Keeping the wrong people out during open and closed hours is essential and understanding how to protect data will reduce the opportunities open to burglars.
You may expect burglars to steal a wallet or a laptop. In today’s environment, they are just as likely to pick up paper information that may be useful to steal identities and access bank accounts. They may also look for data held on CDs/DVDs.
Hiring the right people will help lower the risk of dangers from inside your property and making sure that visitors cannot access any private data, pick up paper or get close enough to computer systems, is another reason to also upgrade your access controls and surveillance management.
