One area organizations tend to overlook, especially small to medium sized enterprises, is the printer network, and one of the most common security breaches is breathtakingly simple.  Most breaches come from people leaving printed documents on top of the printer.  Having a printout left on any device for any period of time leaves the information on that document open to any person who walks by that device.

  • How often do you pick up your job off the printer and notice you have someone leases job in your stack…?
  • How often do you walk by a printer and see paper left on the output tray, or next to the device in a bin…?
  • Is there a bin next to your printing devices for unclaimed jobs to go in…?

These are some small things that organizations don’t think about since they are within the four walls of the organization.  They feel safe within their four walls…  Unfortunately, that is not always the case.  Even in a Utopian society, accidents happen.

Research suggests up to 30% of printouts are not collected from the machine, and many more can be left for hours before anyone picks them up. When you think of the business-sensitive information regularly reproduced as hard copy by the average small to medium sized business, from supplier and customer contracts to notes on the latest strategy meeting, you get some sense of the security risk those lapse printer practices represent.

From the healthcare industry, to the finance industry, to the legal industry and so on, organizations maintain, receive, print, and transmit secure personal information as well as secure internal information. submitted in part to LinkedIn Pulse by Chad Pachtinger
