Are You Unknowingly Breaching Client Confidentiality Through a Copier?
 Did you know that every time you use certain copy machines you’re inadvertently storing confidential client information? A CBS investigative report found that copy machines are a gold mine of classified information. From social security numbers to financial records, most copy machines (since 2002) contain hard drives, which store information. In this case, a digital image of every piece of paper put through the machine.
This isn’t a problem if the machine stays in your office, but what happens when you buy or lease a new one? Your old copier leaves your office, taking all confidential client and case data with it. Identity thieves recognize this source of information and purchase used copy machines with the intention of stealing information from the hard drive.
How can you avoid this? Before you get rid of your copy machine, make sure you wipe the hard drive clean. Many copy machines come with encryption packages and if not, there are numerous software products and vendors that offer this service. |
