“Data security is not optional!

Make data protection part of your everyday WorkLife."

Our research shows that 68% of businesses still work with large volumes of printed data every day. In today’s hybrid working world, this dramatically increases the risk of a physical data breach. Without the right processes and equipment in place, sensitive files can easily fall into the wrong hands — putting your business at risk.

From HR records to financial statements, ensure all paper documents are securely stored and destroyed.

Understanding
GDPR & NIS-2

Don’t overlook printed documents in your data protection strategy.

Most organisations focus on cybersecurity — but paper documents are often the hidden weak spot. In today’s hybrid working world, a single HR file left on a desk or an invoice tossed in a home bin can trigger a serious data breach. The consequences? Fines of up to €20 million and lasting reputational damage.

Fines - up to 20 Million Euros

Here’s what you need to know:

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – In force since 2018, GDPR requires organisations to protect EU citizens’ personal data, both digital and paper-based. It demands transparency, lawful processing, and strong safeguards. Non-compliance can mean fines of up to €20M or 4% of global turnover, plus reputational harm.
  • NIS-2 (Network and Information Systems Directive) – Effective from October 2024, NIS-2 expands cybersecurity obligations for essential and important sectors. It requires stricter risk management, supply chain security, and rapid incident reporting, with direct management accountability. Non-compliance can mean fines of up to €10M or 2% of global turnover.

To stay compliant, businesses need secure processes, trained staff, and the right tools to protect sensitive information before it falls into the wrong hands. Want to learn more?
