Usually I’m writing about security on digital property, but its important not to overlook physical security as well.

For example, just because those documents with sensitive information were shredded, that doesn’t mean it’s alright to dump it out in the street.

They are still investigating what exactly went wrong here, but when destroying documents that are not meant to be seen by anyone, try to use fire. It tends to make any information on the document completely unrecoverable.
