It\u2019s time to root out the monsters lurking in the archival deeps.<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You know the ones: the mildewed storage boxes festooned in cobwebs that contain data well past their retention date; yellowing documents that may or may not have been correctly tracked through the years; personal information that needs to be removed due to bereavement or a GDPR-related erasure request.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n

And it\u2019s not just the archives that could harbour horrors; think of the digital nasties that could be stacked up \u2018out of sight, out of mind\u2019 in your storage cupboard. With data flowing through so many routine devices, there are very few items of electrical ware \u2013 basic headphones, simple power adapters and non-smart fans or appliances are outliers \u2013 that are safe from bad actors who love nothing more than sticking the knife in and smashing company reputations and finances.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGeneral Recycling<\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Nightmares abound in the workplace, too.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing funny about data breach slip ups because your teammates and colleagues have nowhere to store sensitive data safely before it is collected for disposal. Even worse is if they are ignorant of the ramifications of data protection infringements such as visible screens and notepads, unfiled documents in in\/out-trays, or using regular waste streams to \u2013 yikes! \u2013 throw away draft accounts, board meetings or personnel information. And, by the way, this applies to both office and remote work settings.<\/p>\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\n
