Proper handling of confidential documents ensures compliance and reduces the risk of information leaks.
Access Control
Only authorized employees should access confidential information. Use passwords, employee ID verification, or restricted folder access.
Safe Storage
- Physical documents: Store in locked cabinets or rooms with limited access.
- Digital documents: Use encryption, strong passwords, and secure cloud systems.
Responsible Sharing
Share confidential documents only through approved channels. Avoid using personal emails or unsecured file-sharing apps. Always confirm the recipient’s identity before sending.
Shredding & Disposal
When documents are no longer needed, dispose of them properly.
- Physical documents → shred using a cross-cut shredder
- Digital documents → permanently delete and wipe storage devices
Partner with certified disposal companies when handling large volumes.
