Week 2: The Paperwork Begins

April 6, 2009 by Raul Colon

  • Do you have a crosscut Shredder? Stay away from the strip shredders they are more for convenience than security.
  • Get a mid-range crosscut shredder (about $150- $300)
  • Everything paper goes through the shredder: anything with addresses, credit card info, schedules, phone numbers, and travel itineraries.
  • “Why?” Well, criminals and people with malicious intent like to “dumpster dive” for those juicy credit card numbers and passwords. It gets the “diver” maybe USD$15, and you get to spend 10 years cleaning up your financial reputation. (You just knew there was more paperwork.)

Week 1: Secure the Physical

April 5, 2009 by Raul Colon

Week 1: Secure the Physical
  • Check your door locks at each entrance: throw bolts long enough (the kind with the rotating rod in the bolt)
  • Verify if you might need anti-theft bars. If there is skylight, perhaps it needs to be covered with a solid barrier.
  • A list of people with keys. Do they still need them?
  • Inventory of fire alarms, smoke alarms, extinguishers. If you don’t have them hit the hardware store. Make sure you put the alarms up according to instructions.
  • Communicate any improvements to the insurance company they might offer you a discount
  • You can later consider an alarm systems connected to an alert/answering company to call the fire or police departments.
  • I would also verify the cost of some surveillance cameras they have gone down in price and add great value in protecting your all assets.
