Spotlight on security

Office security is one of those subjects that are generally not given sufficient consideration until it’s too late.  Your office equipment, staff and data are all vulnerable in various ways but there are plenty of simple measures you can take to prevent the worst happening.

Loss of equipment through theft, flood or fire is something we’d rather not contemplate.  The cost and disruption can be devastating.  Employ the following procedures to keep your valuables safe.

R      Ensure your fire prevention measures and safety procedures are up to date.

R      Install CCTV

R      Use equipment locks to secure computers and machines.

R      Don’t leave keys lying around.  Lock them securely away in a key cabinet.

R      Use fireproof and waterproof containers and safes for your most valuable items.

For most offices, data theft can be far more damaging than equipment theft.  

R      Shred documents containing valuable data before disposing of them.

R      Prevent access from unauthorised personnel with door access control locks.

R      Use secure envelopes if sending valuable data through the post or courier.

R      If you take data out of the office on a USB stick, make sure it’s encrypted.

R      Use tamper proof labels to seal PCs, doors, switches, and CD cases.

We have security products for all budgets and requirements on the Scorpio Computer Supplies Ltdwebsite.

Introducing Hytec™ Eco

We are proud to showcase the new Hytec™ Eco range of environmentally friendly toner cartridges.  This range will run along side our exceptional quality Hytec™ products and offer an eco-friendly alternative, perfect for those looking to make cost savings.

It has been estimated by scientists that a toner cartridge will take up to 250 years to decompose. Every time you use a Hytec™ Eco toner you are reducing the number of used toners going to landfill, improving the state of our planet for generations to come.

Responsible recycling carried out by Hytec™ Eco prevents dangerous toxins being absorbed into water courses and ultimately our food sources.

Besides reducing the burden on landfill, Hytec™ Eco cartridges reduce the CO2 emissions created during the manufacturing process by up to 60%*.

Common sense dictates that we can not continue to burden our planet in this way but the economic argument is no less compelling.  Hytec™ Eco offers the best value for money yet, with savings of up to 60% on the price of OEM toners.

If you are interested in making cost savings and reducing your organisation's impact on the environment, the Hytec™ Eco range is the obvious choice.
