Do you also protect your personal data in the home office?
Whether private correspondence, bank statements or even professional documents of employees in the home office - data protection also plays a major role at home! Do you know this? An old invoice, an address list or perhaps order forms that are no longer needed need to be disposed of. Usually it has to be done quickly, so it's best to crumple or tear it up and throw it in the wastepaper basket or bin! This is exactly where there is a great risk of data theft, such as identity theft or the disclosure of sensitive company data. Play it safe with a Leitz IQ document shredder - because this is the waste paper basket 2.0, the intelligent alternative to the "data leak" paper bin.
