Our security standards

Our robust information security policies 

Our team

All employees are required to sign that they agree to protect the confidentiality of information, both during and after their employment. 

Background verification checks are carried out on all candidates for employment. All employees are required to complete Data Protection, Fraud Awareness and Information Security training annually. 

Physical and environmental measures 

We have a number of physical and environmental security measures in place.

Critical or sensitive information processing facilities are housed in secure areas, protected by defined security perimeters, with appropriate security barriers and entry controls to prevent unauthorised physical access, damage and interference to the organisation’s premises and information.

Security perimeters such as alarms, CCTV, entry fob controlled gates and doors and manned reception desks are used to protect areas that contain information processing facilities. User restrictions are in place to prevent the unauthorised use of removable storage devices.

All visitors to the Scottish Braille Press must be signed in and accompanied at all times.

Document storage

Sensitive documents are stored securely situated within a secure, restricted access area under CCTV cameras. The entire building is protected by a monitored alarm system.

All master files are stored on secure servers located within a secure server room, with restricted access, equipped with an alarm system and networked digital camera. There is a remote dual firewall in place securely operated and managed by our ISP.  

Data protection

All proofing copies and paper waste is securely shredded in-house each afternoon at close of business using the in-house shredding facilities.  All customer sensitive system data is purged after 90 days.
