Lesson 7 of 8 · about 1 minute
Information is still protected after you are done with it. Disposing of it properly finishes the job.
Paper with Protected Information is cross-cut shredded, or collected by a bonded shredding service. It never goes in regular trash or recycling.
Keep paper in a locked cabinet, not on a desk or in a vehicle. For a home visit, keep it with you and bring it back the same day.
Delete downloaded files when the task is done. Empty the recycle bin or Recently Deleted folder too, because deleted files are still stored there.
Before any computer, phone or drive that held Protected Information is sold, recycled or thrown away, talk to Don Williams. It must be wiped first.
