Weighing the Pros and Cons of Records Storage At Your Office
Every business starts out by storing all of its records at its own office. As the vital records grow and grow, most businesses progress to moving some records to an off-site location.
Pros
- Easy accessibility
- No need to take time to properly index files
Cons
- Records are too easily accessible, which poses a security risk
- If a disaster strikes your business (fire, earthquake, flood), vital records can be lost by having all your records in one place.
- Most expensive option for storing information because of the high cost of office space
- Exposes your vendors and employees to increased risk of misuse of sensitive information
- Exposes clients to having sensitive information fall into the wrong hands
- Exposes company to disgruntled employees accessing sensitive information
- Without proper indexing, records become increasingly difficult to find
