PaperLock Device Adds Extra Layer of Security for HealthCare Industry Copiers & Printers
I’ve asked this question a hundred or more times and I always get the same answer, silence, followed by “I don’t know.” We’re all aware of the constant threats of hacking, malware and malicious software, however what steps do we take to secure our paper based documents?
These paper based documents can include corporate checks, medical prescription forms, purchase order forms and letterhead.
It’s great to have the latest and greatest in IT security measures, but what stops those thieves from opening the paper tray on the printer or copier and helping themselves to a stack of letterhead, checks or prescription paper? What happens with an after-hours break in?
Thieves can come in all shapes and sizes, they could be new clients, disgruntled employees, delivery people, and even sales people. Reminds me of a story from years ago. A salesperson visited one my accounts and promptly stole the Office Managers wallet that was in her pocket book. Weeks later we heard that this salesperson was stealing many items from other accounts as well.
Doing a little bit of research, I found this on irs.gov web site:
These schemes — which can occur over the phone, in e-mails or through letters with authentic looking letterhead — try to trick taxpayers into providing personal financial information or scare people into making a false tax payment that ends up with the criminal.
Here's a recent snippet from an article about stolen checks:
The charge was supposed to be $120, but instead, Katz was given a check for $1,370.89. The name on the check was a New York-based company called Professional Testing Corporation. Professional Testing Corporation was unwilling to comment to the Signal Tribune about the potential scam incident, but it did confirm that checks were stolen and representatives had filed a report with the FBI.
I find it odd that most copier and printer manufacturers do not offer paper tray locks as options. Yes, from a couple of manufacturers you can buy/lease a printer or copier with a paper tray lock. However, those locks are nothing more than a site deterrent and be dismantled within minutes.
The good news is that there are high quality secure after-market paper tray locks that are available for most copy machines and printers.
Adding a paper tray lock to your current printer or copier can be an inexpensive and easy way to safe guard and close the last gap of document security at your facility.
