Your business runs on data. Customer records, financial information, proprietary research, employee files—all stored on hard drives throughout your organization. But what happens when those
When technology fails, business stops. That’s especially true when your confidential documents end up in the wrong hands. The hybrid workplace has rewritten the rules
Every business handles sensitive information. Employee records, financial statements, client contracts—these documents contain data that could devastate your organization if compromised. When it’s time to
Sometimes in the document shredding business, certain questions come up — good questions that need to be answered. One of those inquiries is about how small the documents should be shredded…
Not all that has come out of the COVID pandemic has been bad. Businesses in the struggle to survive and adapt amid the challenges have been quite creative. We’ve seen businesses implement new virtual conferencing technologies, new…
RK Black Shredding this week handed Susan G. Komen Oklahoma a check for $2,610, the latest donation given as part of an alliance between the two organizations in the fight against breast cancer. A little more than three years ago, RK Black…
All businesses great or small handling any paper bearing sensitive information should invest in a shredding service. It’s just like how those same businesses should invest in locks for their doors. Just like how locks protect your business space, equipment…
It’s spring time, tax day has passed, and now you have probably have lots of piles of papers, folders of files, and racks of records that need to be shredded. You’re probably thinking it’s time to call the local shredding company, right? You’re on the right track, but you could…
It’s tax season. Doubtless, if you are a tax preparer, you are busy handling all kinds of forms, everything from W-2s to 1099s to 1040s, to maybe even a few TPS forms, and everything in between. It’s easy to forget…
Lots of boys are fascinated by firetrucks, trains and airplanes and would like nothing more than a chance to get near one and maybe even tour one. 6-year-old Henry Mitchell is no different. He loves big trucks of all kinds and often runs out near the street…
Cyber threats have moved from “if” to “when” for businesses of every size. Attackers scanning networks for weak spots don’t discriminate by industry, revenue, or headcount — they’re looking for vulnerabilities, and any business connected to the internet ends up on someone’s target list eventually. The businesses that recover cleanly
Physical mail hasn’t gone away. Invoices, statements, notices, contracts, appeals, marketing pieces, court filings, patient communications, and regulatory correspondence still move by mail in enormous volumes across every industry. The volume shows up on the operations side as labor, on the postage bill as expense, and on the budget as
Every few months a new headline lands about a firewall breach, and the natural reaction is to ask, “Are we exposed?” The latest one—an exposure researchers are calling FortiBleed—is worth your attention, but not for the reason most coverage suggests. The real story isn’t a single vendor’s stumble. It’s that the legacy VPN
Documents are the connective tissue of every business. Invoices, contracts, HR records, patient charts, client files, board materials, regulatory filings — every department generates them, every process depends on them, and every audit examines them. When the systems managing all that volume break down, the friction touches everything: approvals stall,
Print costs are notoriously hard to pin down. Nobody on the leadership team can ever say with confidence what the business is actually spending on printing each month — and the answer, when somebody finally digs in, is usually far higher than anyone expected. Toner sits unused on shelves while
When IT systems fail, business doesn’t slow down — it stops. Email goes silent. Files become unreachable. Phones drop. Customers wait. Every minute of downtime carries a cost, and every minute of recovery pulls focus away from the work that’s supposed to be happening. Managed IT exists to keep that
Phone systems don’t get a lot of attention until they stop working. Then they get everyone’s attention at once. For businesses still running aging phone infrastructure — or cobbling together communication tools that were never designed to work together — the cost of inaction shows up in dropped calls, missed
Cybersecurity conversations have a way of generating more jargon than clarity. Two terms that appear constantly — microsegmentation and zero trust — are frequently treated as interchangeable, occasionally treated as competitors, and almost always underexplained. They’re neither the same thing nor mutually exclusive. Understanding the actual difference between them is
The term gets used constantly, but rarely defined clearly. Professional services show up in contracts, proposals, and vendor conversations — often without much explanation of what actually falls under that label or why it’s priced differently from other work. For businesses evaluating technology partners, understanding the distinction matters more than
