Data Security

Securing The Data On YOUR Hard Drive

In an effort to inform and protect our customers, COMDOC now makes ensuring that the information processed by your copier stays safely within your organization and not in the hands of identity thieves.

What You NEED To Know:

Nearly every digital copier contains one or more hard drives, capable of storing all types of data.
Lease return and used copiers are customarily redistributed to buyers, wholesalers, and overseas distributors, without having the necessary steps taken to eliminate sensitive data.
Although the data stored may be encrypted, it is still possible to gain access to your personal information.
Many of these copiers contain the IP address of the company's primary and secondary email server and, in some cases, a secure log-on password.

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners found that companies in the United States lose more than $600 billion a year due to fraud, and document fraud is a large part of this statistic. Now that MFPs and laser printers are able to store data, they've become an integral part of business networks, and a critical point of vulnerability. They retain latent document images and contact information, leaving sensitive information and mission-critical data at risk. These threats to security can come from anyone, anywhere. The 2009 Data Breach Investigation Report found that 74% of security breaches resulted from external sources and 20% were traced to insiders. Reports from a variety of resources have come to these same conclusions: data theft is common, it happens regularly, and everyone is aware that it's a serious problem. That's why we deliver serious security solutions. In addition to protecting against security breaches and possible litigation, we assist in keeping businesses compliant with ever-increasing government regulations such as HIPAA, FERPA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and eDiscovery.
