How to Secure Important Documents

From tax records and legal contracts to medical files and personal IDs, our lives are filled with documents that hold sensitive and irreplaceable information. But what happens if your laptop gets stolen, your hard drive crashes, or your physical files are damaged or lost? That’s why securing important documents isn't just a good idea — it’s essential.

Why Securing Documents Is More Important Than Ever

• Identity Theft: Stolen personal documents can lead to financial fraud or unauthorized access to your accounts.
• Loss of Access: Physical documents can be lost due to fire, water damage, or misplacement.
• Data Breaches: Storing digital files without encryption makes them vulnerable to hackers and ransomware.
• Compliance: Businesses must meet strict data protection regulations for customer and employee documents.

How to Secure Your Documents the Right Way

Here are effective strategies to protect your physical and digital documents:

1. Go Digital, But Securely

Scanning and storing important documents digitally reduces physical clutter and makes them easier to access. But they must be stored in a **secure, encrypted environment** like FortexaSecure — not just on your device or email.

2. Use End-to-End Encryption

Choose services that offer AES-256-GCM encryption with key management systems like AWS KMS. This ensures your files are unreadable without your authorization, even to the service provider.

3. Enable Access Controls

Store your documents in a vault that uses features like:

• MPIN or biometric access
• Primary device verification
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

4. Backup with Redundancy

Always have a secure backup — preferably in a cloud vault with geo-redundancy. FortexaSecure stores files securely and can restore them even if one data center fails.

5. Don’t Trust Local Storage Alone

USB drives and external hard disks can fail or get lost. Instead, use cloud storage solutions with tamper-proof logging and immutable file history.
