Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
Do I still need a fireproof cabinet if my office is going paperless?
Yes — even in a largely paperless office, fireproof storage remains relevant: (1) Original signed documents (contracts, deeds, original certificates) often still exist in paper form and have legal significance. (2) For digital backups, you need a UL Class 125 or Class 150 media-rated fireproof safe for hard drives, USB drives, and optical discs — standard paper-rated cabinets allow temperatures that destroy digital media. (3) Some regulated industries require paper originals regardless of digital records. (4) Critical original documents (business formation papers, property deeds) should always have physical protected originals. Going paperless reduces how much you need, but doesn't eliminate the need.
