A timely reminder as to why your business information and customer records need to be held secure and safe has come from US recently with a Doctor’s self-lock storage unit broken into and more than 1,000 media records stolen. These most personal records were subsequently sold by the thieves, undermining patients trust in the Doctor and leaving them feeling vulnerable and exposed.
Self-lock storage units are a popular storage solution in Australia, but should not be used for records management due to the real risk of this information being stolen, as in the US example, or destroyed while in storage by rodents, rising water or other possible natural elements.
The safety of your records is of paramount importance to us. When you entrust us with your information, you can rest assured that it is being cared for in the right manner to meet your needs and privacy obligations.
