How valuable is the data shared in your company, and what are you doing to safeguard it? For many, they think that hacking is done on a computer, which is why they invest in internet security and fire walls. Unfortunately, modern data breaches happen in diverse ways causing the loss of millions of dollars’ worth of intellectual property every year.
Modern day hackers can gain access to laptops, tablets, and phones without ever having touched the device or shared some correspondence with the person. We recognize the new levels of danger, and so we have devised tools that every business can benefit from.

Security Against Electronic Eavesdropping
Faraday bags, shielded cell phone bags, and lockers are primarily designed to safeguard against electronic eavesdropping. This is achieved by blocking all forms of electronic signals, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, thereby preventing any form of remote surveillance or access to the device inside. This feature is particularly crucial in high-security environments where sensitive conversations and data are at risk of being intercepted or recorded via remote surveillance methods, such as activating a cell phone’s microphone or camera.
- Blockage of Signals: Prevents any form of remote access or eavesdropping on the device inside.
- Protection in High-security Environments: Essential for safeguarding against remote surveillance methods.
This layer of security is fundamental in maintaining the integrity of sensitive information, leading us to the next crucial advantage: data protection.
Data Protection
The absolute isolation from wireless communications provided by these security items is a key factor in preventing remote hacking and data breaches. When devices containing sensitive or confidential information are left unattended, they become vulnerable to remote hacking attempts. These protective measures ensure that such risks are mitigated, especially crucial for devices holding confidential business information or sensitive government data.
- Prevention of Remote Hacking: Ensures that hackers cannot remotely access the device.
- Safeguarding Sensitive Information: Protects confidential business and government data.
Ensuring data protection through these means not only secures sensitive information but also aids in adhering to stringent information security policies, a topic we will explore next.
Compliance with Information Security Policies
In many sectors, especially government and defense, there are strict regulations regarding the handling and storage of mobile devices. Utilizing Faraday bags, shielded cell phone bags, and lockers assists in complying with these policies, which often mandate the prevention of unauthorized signal transmission in secure areas. This compliance is crucial for meeting various industry standards and government regulations, such as HIPAA, GDPR, or ISO standards, and demonstrates an organization’s commitment to information security.
- Adherence to Regulations: Helps in complying with strict mobile device handling and storage regulations.
- Demonstration of Security Commitment: Aids in meeting various industry standards and government regulations.
Complying with these policies not only fortifies an organization’s security posture but also plays a significant role in preventing data leaks, a topic we will delve into now.
Prevention of Data Leaks
The prevention of data leaks is another significant advantage of using these security items. Accidental leaks can occur due to insecure apps, malware, or simple carelessness, while insiders might perpetrate intentional leaks. By storing mobile devices in these secure containers, both accidental and intentional risks are significantly reduced. This ensures that sensitive information remains within the confines of the organization.
- Mitigation of Accidental Leaks: Reduces the risk of unintentional transmission of sensitive information.
- Protection Against Insider Threats: Helps in preventing intentional leaks by employees.
By mitigating these risks, organizations not only safeguard their sensitive information but also maintain a controlled and secure operational environment, a crucial aspect in today’s digitally interconnected world.
