Trying to keep a workspace organized can be a challenge, and many people don’t realize that as documents and files start to add up, so does the risk of fraud or a data breach. Leaving sensitive documents or electronic devices out in the open could leave them susceptible to the risk of a data breach.
It is important that businesses work with their employees to take the necessary steps to safeguard confidential information.

Reduce Human Error
