It\u2019s part of the European Union\u2019s big GDPR move and has garnered much interest from nations on other continents too, like South Korea, Argentina, India and the United States.\n\nThe idea is, individuals have the right to request their data be deleted, although, in some more low-key scenarios, it\u2019s just about making sure data is accurate and up-to-date. The concept may be an inconvenience to a business, but to appease lawmakers and customers having the ability to comply with the right to be forgotten is important.\n\nBefore they can comply with the right to be forgotten, businesses must know what data they hold on somebody and have access to it at all times. If they don\u2019t, then the business cannot amend or destroy it upon request, which can be in breach of data privacy laws.\n\nBusinesses often collect a lot of data. The trouble is, they aren&#8217;t always sure what to do with this data. While some of it is used for important tasks, other pieces are essentially scattered to the winds. Awareness of what data businesses store is important, as is the ability to access it whenever necessary. The trick to remaining compliant is two-fold. It involves:\n<ul style=\"padding:20px 0 0 0;\">\n \t<li>Only onboarding data that is needed, limiting the amount stored and therefore reducing the risk of erroneous pieces of information getting lost in a sea of data<\/li>\n \t<li>Making sure robust systems of consumer record storage are in place, to allow for easy viewing of all personal data held on an individual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2afe78d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2afe78d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Continued Use of Outdated Fax Machines<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5e103b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5e103b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Fax machine use is still rife around the world, and for good reasons. Fax documents allow for the transmission of important legal files, and the sharing of visual information quickly. While many argue it is outdated, the fax itself is a vital part of many economic infrastructures, and should not be dismissed as archaic.<\/p><p>What is archaic though, is the machines used to send the fax. The fax machine hasn\u2019t changed much since it\u2019s rise in the 1960s \u2014 which is alarming. These types of units are not designed for contemporary operations. Using a fax machine to send a fax is like using a computer built in the 90s to access the internet. Fundamentally, the internet is the same as the time of its inception, just as the fax is. But the supportive technology around it has evolved dramatically.<\/p><p>For faxing, this means risks to data compliance. Fax machines are known to increase the chance of breaches through several weaknesses, including a lack of data encryption, easy-to-hack hardware, the commonality of accidental misdialing, and a high probability of paper files to be exposed to unauthorised parties.<\/p><p>But, as with the internet, there are now ways to access fax that doesn\u2019t require ancient hardware. Digital fax technology allows businesses to maintain essential fax functionality without having to use risky hardware like fax machines. Businesses can send and receive fax while removing the risk factors that increase the chance of a data breach. There are other benefits to using digital fax too, such as being prepared for\u00a0<a href=\"\/uk\/isdn-switch-off-solutions\">future changes like the ISDN switch off<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b7e8a21 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b7e8a21\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e804a66\" data-id=\"e804a66\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a50c66 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a50c66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">No obligation.

Filing cabinets and drawers are not considered secure unless they are locked up properly and only authorised individuals have keys. The moment a paper document is potentially exposed to an unauthorised individual, it becomes a problem for data security. This can happen in shared workspaces or simply by having a piece of paper left out on a desk.<\/p><p>Paper documents are also easy to lose. In the past, we\u2019ve seen reports of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/uk\/7449255.stm\">documents relating to national security<\/a>\u00a0left on a train, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2017\/12\/07\/top-officer-fined-leaving-confidential-papers-car-stolen\/\">confidential police files<\/a>\u00a0stolen after a senior official left them on the back seat of a car. It is a risk and a genuine problem.<\/p><p>There is also the simple issue of tracking down paper documents. They can often be difficult to find, especially if businesses store lots of records, which can make updating information a problem \u2014 and also lead to sensitive information disappearing. Both of these risks can contravene data protection and data rights laws.<\/p><p>Going paperless works against these risks by making all business documentation digital. Digital practices increase security through access controls and encryption, while also making it easier to find documents through simple search functionality, so it becomes near-impossible to lose files. When it comes to the right to be forgotten, this element is key.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b2348d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b2348d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Misguided Concept of Safety<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ccdf1a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ccdf1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBig data penalties and issues are seen as problems exclusively for big businesses. British Airways recently got slapped with a huge fine for data breaches and other massive corporations like Marriott, Yahoo and Uber have seen similar repercussions for lax security and loss of consumer data. But that\u2019s because they are big commercial enterprises with targets on their backs \u2014 right?\n\nThe idea that entities are protected from backlash because they are a small business is not an uncommon one. In fact, even a year after the EU rolled out its game-changing GDPR legislation, millions of small businesses were found to be non-compliant with the regulations. Many believed it wouldn\u2019t affect them.\n\nThis idea is false. Simply put, it doesn\u2019t matter if a business is a giant like Apple or a small business that sells apples, they have to be compliant with data protection regulations or they can and will be held accountable for breaches. One such example of businesses being handed down fines after GDPR is that of a small shipping company in Germany that was hit with a penalty costing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grcworldforums.com\/news\/2019\/01\/23\/small-business-in-germany-hit-with-e5000-gdpr-fine\/\">thousands of Euro<\/a>\u00a0for the way it processed client contracts.\n\nBeing a small business is not protection. Those that store customer data on any level must be compliant with data protection laws.
