Almost all people, government agencies and business owners have documents to be processed on regular basis regardless them having a paperless office system. At any given point of the day, they would be required to process numerous kinds of transactions without the need to printing copies. However, these items would require paper back up for filing purposes.

It would be imperative that these documents should be kept in tight security. The law has stipulated the precise number of years for every kind of document to be made secure. Therefore, document security has been defined as the means whereby essential documents would be filed, processed, stored, backed up, delivered and at last disposed of.
