Storing and Securing

Medical, Legal and

Financial Documents

As offices transition into the digital age, there are likely

mounds of papers and endless filing cabinets taking up

tons of space.

If you’re a doctor, lawyer or a financial organization,

chances are you have confidential documents floating

around your office.

The nature and sensitivity of medical, legal and financial documents may make

professionals nervous about their security. If you choose to store confidential

data inside a self storage unit, there are important factors to consider and look

for when selecting your self storage company.

When you’re searching for a secure self storage company for your sensitive documents, look for

storage companies that contain the following security characteristics:

● Gated entrance or fencing around the perimeter

● Adequate lighting

● Security cameras

● 24-hour security surveillance

● Alarmed offices

● Secure and safe location

Once your confidential documents are secured within your self storage unit,

there are additional steps that you can take to increase security.

First, limit the unit access to only one or two people who you trust. The fewer

people who have keys or access to your unit with confidential data, the less

chance there is for things to go missing.

If you have a need to clear out some filing cabinets, bringing them into self

storage in Canton Ohio will help maximize security. This is especially true if the

filing cabinets have locks on them. Placing your sensitive documents inside

locked filing cabinets in self storage doubles your security. If you’re storing

medical, legal and financial documents in boxes, consider covering them with a

tarp.

In general, the care of sensitive documents for self storage in Canton Ohio is the same as any other

paper documents.

● Keep your boxes at around 30 pounds so they are easy to carry.

● Elevate your boxes using wood panels to keep them off of the ground

● Keep boxes the same size for easy stacking

● Put the oldest documents toward the back of the unit, with the newest toward the front

● Label your boxes clearly for quick and easy access
