Why offline security is just as important as online security

6 tips for offline information security

‍

🔒
Regularly review physical access points, such as doors, locks, and camera systems.

‍

🗑️

With the rise of the cloud, physical data carriers such as USB sticks and memory cards are (often) obsolete. If you do use them, make sure that sensitive information is encrypted.

‍

📃

Like data carriers, paperwork is often unnecessary. Do you still have confidential paperwork? Then store it in locked cabinets or lockers. Is the paperwork no longer necessary? Then destroy it. \

‍

📲

Think of electronic badges or biometric identification. This way, visitors are quickly and easily identified upon arrival. This ensures that only authorized persons have access to specific areas, such as offices or sensitive information centers. In addition, you have your visitor management in order right away.

Make sure to check and store the images regularly in case research is needed afterwards.

🤓

Train employees so that they actively contribute to a safe work environment (for example with Guardey). For example, make sure that all your colleagues lock their screens. The advice mentioned above is reflected in the ISO 27001 standard. Do you also want to get started with your offline (and online) security? We are happy to provide advice without obligation.
