Weak spots in traditional document management

Disposing of documents in an ordinary waste basket or ordinary trash bags increases the risk of confidential information being disclosed. Here are three areas which may result in disclosure of sensitive information.

Waste baskets

If documents containing sensitive information end up in waste baskets or unlocked garbage rooms, there is a risk that people who are not authorized to view sensitive information will get access to it.

Trucks

Recycling companies which do not offer confidential waste disposal services load intact, unredacted documents for transport. This gives unauthorized persons the opportunity to access sensitive data.

Sorting systems

At facilities that are not subject to high security requirements, employees and volunteers can read, share and steal sensitive data while performing sorting work.
