Print security.
Protect the documents that pass through your copiers and printers, from the moment they are sent to the day the device leaves your office.
Your copier is a computer on your network.Is it on your security checklist?
It has a hard drive, a network connection and access to your documents.
Secure from the day it arrives to the day it leaves.
Left at its defaults, a copier can leak what passes through it, and it is often forgotten when security is reviewed.
We set devices up securely, keep them updated and control who can use them, until the device is retired.
What we check on a copier.
| Check | If it is left alone | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Administrator password | Still set to the default. | Changed. |
| Unused services and protocols | Left switched on. | Turned off. |
| Firmware | Out of date, with known weaknesses. | Kept current. |
| Sign-in and release | Pages sit in the output tray. | Held until the owner signs in at the device. |
| Stored data | Spooled files and stored images stay on the device. | Cleaned between jobs on supported devices, and wiped or destroyed when the device is retired. |
| Activity | No record of who printed what. | Sign-in and logging show who printed, copied and scanned what. |
Signs you need this.
- You handle confidential documents, and a stray page would matter.
- A security questionnaire asks about your printers.
- Your devices are shared, or open to the public.

Print security is strongest as part of the wider picture.
Questions about print security.
Are copiers and printers really a security risk?
They can be. They store and process documents, sit on your network and often run with default settings. Treating them like any other computer is how the gap gets closed.
Does this work with our existing devices?
Often. What is possible depends on the model. We review your fleet first.
Can you make us compliant?
No provider can promise that on its own. We make sure the printing side is secure and documented so it supports your requirements.
