Shred on Site

It’s surprising to learn that organisations with 1-100 employees faced more than six times the security breaches than organisations of 100-1000 employees last year. Why is this? The intentional attitude to prevent security breaches is missing from smaller businesses. This distinct lack of security has painted them as easy targets to fraudsters.  The attitude of invulnerability needs to change.

 

All it takes is an immoral employee or a passing opportunist to take advantage of your exposed office documents. Protecting your documents from internal and external threats is therefore key to your businesses survival. Such fraudulent activities result in loss of money, identity theft and a damaged brand image for the business concerned. Further down the line, deeper issues will arise: Trust will be broken among the working team and motivation will plummet as people fear for their jobs. It will ultimately create an unpleasant working environment following a myriad of management concerns. 

 

Clearly actions need to be taken to prevent these events emerging. But how can you do this? How do we get staff to embrace your attitude? Training and equipping is the answer. Creating new security policies necessitates extra training for staff. Resourcing staff with the understanding, skills and motivation to be secure is one thing; making it efficient, practical and sustainable is something totally different. 

 

Often change to a business environment can appear intimidating. Some employees struggle with the prospect of learning something new for fear of change or loss of comfort in their job.
