Safe Storage of Office valuables
ONE of the most important items held by any business organisation is the safe, the keeper of all that is fiscal and valuable in other ways.
Forget the stereotypical image of the solid box with the twisty dial on the front, lurking in a dark basement and targeted by those who think stripe wear is the in thing this season. The modern safe is a sophisticated storage item and can come in a variety of different forms.
Information and data gathered over many years, at great cost in terms of finance and hard work, can be lost within mere seconds without adequate protection. An up to date, secure and reliable safe is vital for ensuring the secure protection of files, memory storage, hard drives, tapes, disks.
There several main types of safe:
● Fireproof: The cost of losses from fire damage can run to a frightening figure of millions each day, and in some cases the true cost can be the final closure of the business or organisation affected. With this danger in mind, many will take strong measures to ensure their vital information and data can survive a blaze. Magnetic storage media, rather than paper (which is actually an insulator) is most at risk when a fire breaks out. The effects of heat from a blaze can render them useless within seconds. Humidity is another data damager with levels of 85% resulting in irrecoverable loss.
● Data safes: Theft or copying of confidential data or information is a constant risk. It can happen at any time and valuable data could be in the hands of a rival with damaging results. Data safes save loss and stress.
● Burglary: related to the above, burglary protection safes, complete with time delays and money collection facilities provide high levels of security and are available in both electronic and mechanically locking types.
