Your MFD Could Put Your Organization at Risk
Take Action Now to Avoid Fines
 Most multifunction printing devices store thousands of images on their hard drives, that contain confidential information. When these machines are taken out of service or decommissioned, typically the hard drives are not wiped, cleaned, or destroyed even though stored images can be retrieved, explains Rob Lingard, Manager of Central Services at Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators in Salt Lake City.
Who is responsible (and liable) for securing these images?
If an MFD is taken out of service, the company decommissioning the unit should be responsible for ensuring that any data stored on the HD is removed. However, many organizations, including in-plants, are not aware of the potential danger posed by the MFD hard drives. In some industries such as law enforcement, healthcare, insurance, and financial benefits, the organization having custody of the information is responsible for its protection and could face stiff penalties including fines for each violation.
