Writer's picture: Highlander Security ShreddingHighlander Security Shredding

A business of any type will have some things they need to keep confidential. Whether this is financial records of the company, customer information or documents relating to new deals, it is information you don’t want to fall into the wrong hands. This could cause customers to lose faith in your business or lose you business deals.

Here are 5 methods for maintaining confidentiality at your business.

Limit Access Online

If you have confidential documents on your business network, try to limit access to things that not everybody needs access to. Put passwords on confidential information and only give these to trusted employees. If the information does end up in the wrong hands, then it should be easier to tell who has leaked it as they’ll be the ones with passwords.

Train Employees

Sometimes employees might not understand the risks of confidential information falling into the wrong hands. Lead a training session about the importance of protecting information going through the consequences and what they can do to help prevent it.

Lock It Up

If you’re using paper documents that are confidential, make sure they are locked away securely when not in use. This could be a lockable file cabinet at the business, or utilise an archiving company to take care of your documents.

Reliable Couriers

If you are delivering confidential information to clients, customers or another office, this needs to be done securely. Only trust a reliable courier service to do so, or even just have them delivered by somebody you trust in your own company.

Utilise Document Shredding

While a lot of business has moved online, plenty is still done on paper. However, this now means you will have physical copies of confidential information you might not want to get out. To combat this you should utilise document shredding, ensuring any paperwork that is no longer needed is disposed of properly. Anything placed inside a normal bin can be taken back out, but shredding will ensure it is not used against your business.
