One small mistake could result in a hefty fine and a damaged reputation

With GDPR on its way, your organisation cannot afford to take risks with personal data and confidential information.

The multi-million pound penalties for non-compliance of the new legislation are damaging enough, but there could be even more serious consequences on your company's reputation.

In fact, when confidential material falls into the wrong hands, the damage incurred can often be irreparable. It's time to be serious about data protection.



Protect your printed information

It's not secure until it's shredded!


Every organisation has a legal responsibility to safeguard sensitive information and dispose of confidential material securely. The organisation is also responsible for any confidential material that's taken outside its premises by any of its employees. This includes both hard copy documents and anything that can be viewed on a computer, laptop or mobile device.

Despite increased awareness of identity fraud over the last few years, the crime is still growing at an alarming rate. And, because we deal with so many pieces of information on a daily basis, we're all at risk - individuals and organisations alike.

A discarded bank statement, or a snippet of payroll information or a crumpled customer proposal could be all a criminal needs to cause irreparable damage to you and your business.

Anyone who works with sensitive information on their computer or laptop is at risk from prying eyes - especially when working in open plan offices or public places.

'Shoulder Surfing,' as it has become known, is a growing form of identity theft whereby private information is viewed or even photographed over the shoulder of anyone using a screen.
