Why Office Organization Matters

Protecting private information is a big concern for every customer today. After all, identity theft continues to grow in scale and security breaches are becoming more common.

So, what does your unorganized and cluttered office have to do with it? Everything.

Although it is over 4 years old, when discussing this issue I like to refer folks to a CSO Online article, “The Clean Desk Test: What’s Wrong With This Picture?”

The neat thing about this article is that it provides a picture of a messy office containing 20 potential violations and asks you to spot them. It then provides an answer key along with suggested policies and procedures for each violation.

So, take the test yourself and find out if you truly do have 20/20 vision.
