Online, in the cloud, on desktops and laptops, through mobile phones and tablets and in the servers that are the lynchpins of our business communications and processes, data flows in, out and all around us and, without a great deal of care and effort, can bulge out of control. Restore Datashred understands the need to protect your business’ bottom line and your reputation and, here, we point you towards our top five ways of ringfencing your data’s security, whether digital, conceptual or in print.
Top 5 ways to keep data secure
Boost your data fortress by using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, along with anti-virus and malware protection.
Back up your data, to managed shared folders and to the cloud.
Be aware of your surroundings, and that includes shutting all files when you’re screen sharing in online meetings and always locking your devices when you leave them unattended.
Limit access.
Don’t hang on to obsolete data, making sure you dispose of it, and IT equipment, securely.
And, as a bonus point… Educate your teams and colleagues. If they don’t know about their responsibility to protect data throughout their working processes and interactions, they will leave your business open to risk.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) are both excellent sources of information to help you stay on top of your security obligations.
Riffing on the fifth ringfencing point, above, here’s how Restore Datashred can help you meet your secure data disposal needs and obligations, right now.
- Digital data – hard drive shredding is the most complete way to eradicate your confidential data. We reduce hard drives, discs, and e-devices to 4mm fragments, making any residual data contained within them totally unrecoverable.
- Conceptual – we’re talking about intellectual property, eg, end-of-line products, prototypes, seized counterfeit goods, and uniforms, which are tangible goods with an intangible value. We shred textiles, plastics and metals, for example, and help you protect your brand.
- Printed data – reports, agendas, board minutes, accounts, HR and payroll, marketing collateral, diagrams, industrial secrets… all these paper documents (and many others) have a shelf life, sometimes a very long shelf life, and you are legally required to keep track of their retention periods and dispose of them safely and securely at the end of their lifecycle. Restore Datashred offers a full suite of paper shredding services designed to make this part of your workplace admin as smooth as possible, with added guarantees of recycling and responsible disposal.
