80% of all breaches of information are due to human error (source: IBM http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/en/security/infographic/cybersecurityindex.html)
Your employees work diligently and strive to maintain the confidentiality and security of your business, but unfortunately accidents happen. Human errors occur every day and in most cases the results are minimal and easily fixed. But some errors are catastrophic and lead to the collapse of trust in your company.
49% of all breaches are opportunistic, 39 % are end-user.
You protect your computers against malware, are hyper vigilant with passwords and the security of your digital data, but what about your paper data? 49% of all breaches are opportunistic but 39 % are end user. This is your employee who puts sensitive material into the garbage, keeps documents that should be destroyed, and stores highly sensitive material in an unsecured facility.
Limit your exposure - institute a shred-it policy.Shredding documents that have come to term is the simplest way to tackle the issues of a security breach. Western Archives can facilitate secure and confidential shredding, on site or off, or with our mobile shredding unit.
