Your confidential information may be at risk and you don’t even know it. For most of us, life is just one big rush and we’re constantly looking for ways to save time and be more efficient. However, what looks at first like a great time-saving innovation might actually cost you more time and resource in the long run, especially if what you’re actually doing is putting your business at risk by compromising security.
Secure disposal
Many businesses still don’t realise the importance of ensuring that sensitive data and obsolete hardware is disposed of safely and securely. Wastepaper bins are still present in most offices and whilst they will always serve a purpose they shouldn’t be seen as an easy route for disposing of company information. Businesses can actually be fined up to £500,000 for not disposing of sensitive data effectively, and that figure doesn’t include any subsequent loss of business through lost confidence or any legal battles that may ensue as a result.
A perceived shortcut is not always what it seems
There are many areas in business where a seemingly effective time saving hack can just turn into costing you precious moments in the long run. Emails always seem like a quick option of communicating with someone but in truth there’s nothing faster than just picking up the phone. You also ensure that the right message gets across first time too! At home, online shopping always seems like a good idea too, until the delivery arrives and it’s missing that vital ingredient you need to make the dish you’re preparing. Then it’s hop in the car and head off back to the store to pick up what they should have delivered in the first place.
Similarly, if your business is concerned about making sure that the destruction of data and hardware is done properly why not consider consulting a professional provider to cater for your needs? It ultimately saves time and resources and ensure that the job gets done efficiently and in line with regulations. It’s certainly one way in which you can commit more time to business rather than perennially seeking to solutions to a growing problem.
