Risk Management For Your Business

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

 When you walk through your business, it is important to ask yourself questions such as:

How do we discard documents that are safeguarded?

Where is our printer located? Is it a network printer? Does it sit next to the copier and/or fax machine?

How many employees have access to the freshly printed documents before you retrieve them?

What is in our garbage dumpster outside? Is it locked?

Is there paper blowing around outside our building? If so, what is on it?

What do we do with the working draft of a report or proposal once we are done with it?

How many people have access to our recycling and waste containers in our office? Could they benefit from the information they have access to?

What happens to our magnetic or digitally stored information?

How do we dispose of old computers?

What do we do with disks, CD’s, tape backups, microfiche and film?

How can I make these elements safer and more confidential?
