Your companies data/information must be kept safe and secure. This includes keeping the information backed up and away from any unauthorised access. It would be wrong to leave personal data open to be viewed by just anyone.

This applied not only to the data you use on a day to day basic, but old data that perhaps is contained within papers piled in a cupboard or storage room or old data held on redundant computers and hard drives.

Most companies are pretty good at managing current data as they need to use it all the time, but many fall short when it comes to managing the old and obsolete data.
