Furniture: Finding Function in Style

Are you one of the millions of Americans who have gone from working in the office to working from home? If so, your home office now needs to serve as a proper and potentially permanent, professional work base. And one thing that it may be missing is a home safe. Why do you need a safe? Here are a few of the most important reasons to invest in this protective feature now. 

1. To Protect Company Info. Does anything you work with have private company information? Undoubtedly, a lot does. You may have anything from a company laptop to financial statements. Protect these by keeping them where they won't be threatened. 

2. To Protect Client Data. Perhaps it's not company data that you have access to. Many workers have access to client and customer data. This information is generally protected by state and federal law, and both companies and employees can be liable if it's not adequately secured. A physical safe goes along with cyber security measures to protect it from anyone who may be in your house at any time. 

3. To Protect Children and Pets. Safes aren't always about protecting the contents from outsiders. They also protect those around them from what's inside. If your work requires any potentially hazardous materials, toxic substances someone could swallow, firearms, or sharp tools, put these in a safe to protect your family, children, and curious pets. 

4. To Replace a Locked Door. Are you fortunate enough to have a door you can lock when not in the home office? If not, you'll need some other way to secure data, trade secrets, dangerous items, or company valuables. Safes come in a wide range of sizes and purposes, so you can find one that fits your work needs and can be placed anywhere in the home where you have to work. 

5. To Fulfill Company Policy. With their data and equipment spread all over, employers with remote workers have added guidelines to protect their stuff and reduce their liability for what's in your home. A safe is a great all-in-one method of securing everything from a company phone to its secret recipe. You won't need to take a range of measures in order to comply with security standards.
