Safes

Goal-Driven Choices are the Best for Your Business
Storing and protect documents and business data is an important part of both daily and future business operations. A lost, deleted or stolen document is a headache that no one in the company wants to deal with, given the amount of actions and tasks already required to move forward in an unsure economy.

When considering a fireproof safe for paper documents and removable media or a hard drive storage device for digital assets it it important to remember that you are making an investment in the viability of your company. Properly securing data and documents is a vital part of business continuity. Proper storage in the event of fire or flood disasters can mean the difference between a simple set back or complete loss of business operations.

Buy a fire safe with your future storage considerations in mind. If your company must comply with Federal Regulations for document or data storage you'll need to make sure that your safe has all of the necessary security features (generally a TL-30 or Class 5 rating) to ensure compliance. For data backup storage requirements it's important to consider capacity (for DLT or LTO tapes) as well as Gigabytes if you are going toward a hard drive, external USB or NAS storage server.

A great question to ask yourself when considering your safe purchase is "What percentage of your total assets do you want to use to protect all of your assets?"

Which Burns First, Paper or Computer Media?

The easier question to address is which one is destroyed first...paper chars around 400 degrees F, while computer media can begin to deteriorate and/or melt around 125 degrees F. This means that removable computer media such as magnetic tapes like DLT, LTO, as well as CD's or DVD's can loose information at far lower temperatures.

Paper actually burns at 451 degrees F (remember the book Fahrenheit 451?) thus the fire rating standard is UL Class 350 for 1 hour or 2 hr.

The rule of thumb is, don't store data/media disks in a fire file cabinet!!!

Safes

What is the best fire safe available?
This question has several answers and depending on the application, security need, storage requirements and fire ratings there are several makes of safes that could be considered the best...for your unique needs.

It's important to remember that paper records need UL 350 fire rated files or safes to properly protect from fire while removable media will require the UL 125 fire rating on the safe or cabinet.

If you requirement is simply for security then you can choose from burglary rated safes, TL-30 or TL-15 rated safes (higher security) or the highest security level of GSA Approved Class 5 or Class 6.
