Working from Home? GDPR Still Applies

GDPR has had a significant impact on the ways in which businesses are required to handle personal data. Therefore, as working from home becomes increasingly commonplace, businesses must be careful that they're not placing themselves at greater risk of a data breach.

Privacy legislation has a significant impact on the ways in which businesses are required to handle personal data. Therefore, as working from home becomes increasingly commonplace, businesses must be careful that they’re not placing themselves at a greater risk of a data breach.

If employees are working from home, to mitigate the risk, businesses should have a clear set of remote working guidelines in place, limit access to confidential data and ensure employees who work off-site return any paper documents or confidential information to the office, for secure storage or secure destruction.

Reduce remote working risks with Shred-it^®

We can provide white bags that can be given to off-site employees and remote workers to store all confidential information when no longer needed. They can then simply seal these bags and return them when they’re next in the office. Alternatively, arrangements can be made to collect the bags from their front door for shredding.

We will securely shred and recycle the confidential information, and then issue you with a certificate of destruction.

Shred-it’s white bag process will assist you in reducing the risk of a data breach, giving you peace of mind.
