Closing the Hybrid Work Security Gap- Working from home

Remote and hybrid work has changed how businesses handle sensitive documents. When employees print, store, or access confidential information at home, traditional office security isn’t enough.

Key Risks in Home Offices

• Unsecured Storage: Papers on desks, unlocked drawers, visible during video calls

• Improper Disposal: Home shredders often inadequate; documents thrown in household bins

• Shared Spaces: Family, housemates, or visitors may access confidential information

Protect Your Team

Policies to implement:

• Define what can and cannot be printed at home

• Provide lockable filing cabinets for home offices

• Schedule regular collection of sensitive documents for secure destruction

• Train employees on secure handling and disposal

SECURE M Solutions:

• Scheduled pickup from employee homes

• Lockable security bins

• Certificates of Destruction for compliance

Hybrid Work Best Practices

• Minimise printing when working remotely

• Use digital signatures where possible

• Follow retention schedules

• Never use household bins for confidential waste

Tip: Treat home offices with the same security standards as your corporate office. Professional collection and destruction services ensure your business stays protected.
