News You Can Use ~Copier Security
On April 19, CBS News reported the following: "Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive - like the one on your personal computer - storing an image of every document copied, scanned, or emailed by the machine."   This article stated that "using a forensic software program available for free on the Internet,"  thousands of documents stored on a hard drive could be downloaded in minutes.  Read entire article here:

The Chamber contacted Gaffaney's of Williston and spoke with Service Technician, Larry Donis.  His number one recommendation for safegaurding your company's confidential information is purchase a security kit when you buy a copier.  All the major manufacturers offer security or encryption packages on their products.  If you have not purchased a security kit for your copier, Donis recommends that at the time of trade in or sale, you should ask that your hard drive be removed and given to you.
