He clicks on the print icon and sends the document as a print job to his nearest printer. With this simple act, we have taken a secure document that very limited users have access to, and have created two copies that are no longer protected by any form of access control. The first is the obvious; the paper copy our user requires for their meeting.

In the ideal world, our user will keep the printed copy safe at all times and follow the organization's data destruction policy and destroy the copy of the document when they no longer require it. As for the virtual copy created on the printer, the user has no real control over this, nor probably knows it even exists. If we are lucky, the document is overwritten when the next print job comes through, but this is very dependent on the brand and model of printer and how the printer was initially set up by the administrator.

Slightly different to the straight printing of documents, scanning of documents or receiving faxes on a multifunctional printer writes documents to non-volatile areas of memory, usually a hard disk drive. If documents are not manually removed, they will remain there indefinitely, often long forgotten by the original user that scanned the document or received the fax.123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.comset123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com
In either of these scenarios, improper disposal of a decommissioned printer could have catastrophic consequences for a company. Leased printers may be returned to the leasing company for resale. Purchased printers are discarded in the trash or sold at auction or online via auction sites such as eBay. Either way, countless sensitive documents could pass into the hands of nefarious individuals. While the leaking of some documents could financially affect organizations, leaking personal information pertaining to hundreds or thousands of customers or clients could have reputation ramifications that could destroy a company.123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.comset123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com
