These days, security in your office is kind of like a spider-web--it has a lot of branching threads, can be delicate, and requires constant vigilance to protect. However, the good news is that, by focusing on one of those "threads" at a time, it's easy to strengthen the entire web. That's why today's IT management tips are focused on three steps toward tighter print security.

Protecting What Matters

IT management is a service that takes all of your technological concerns and puts them in the hands of fast, reliable professionals, all without breaking the bank. It does a lot of good work for your budget, efficiency, and workflows, but one of its biggest jobs is to ensure that your security protocols are as strong as they can be--and that goes for your print environment too. Unfortunately, a lot of companies accidentally overlook their print environments when it comes to digital security, and that can be a huge (and expensive) mistake. The good news, though, is that IT management makes it easy to focus on print security in addition to protecting all your other tech.

3 Simple Steps Want to prioritize print security in your office?

Here are those three simple steps!

Step 1: Analyze the printer. When it comes to print security, your first job is to make sure that your printers are working with you. Some machines lack built-in security features that make them automatically vulnerable, which means that you should identify the safer machines and use those whenever possible.

Step 2: Focus on data. Next, make sure that your data processes are up-to-date. This means implementing encryption, making sure to clear data from discarded hard-drives or old printers, and making sure every employee feels responsible for data defense.

Step 3: Protect your documents. Once the printers and the data are under control, it's time to look at physical documents. Using tools like your printer's user authentication options, make sure that your paper files never fall into the wrong hands.
