Many small businesses deal with sensitive information or client-sensitive details that are important to keep disclosed within the business. Small businesses have taken steps toward making their business interactions safe and secure, and technology has been a great help with this process. If you work with client-sensitive information in your business, read through this blog and consider how a privacy screen may benefit your workflow.
What is a Computer Privacy Screen?
A privacy screen is a thin layer of plastic that form-fits to your computer display. The adhesive layer sticks to your monitor or viewing screen. When a privacy screen is installed, the screen is only visible when looking directly at the monitor, sitting right in front of the computer. The privacy screen otherwise distorts the screen content, so it’s unreadable from any other angles.
Why Use a Privacy Screen?
Privacy screens are industry-specific, and people who don’t need to keep their content private don’t necessarily need a privacy screen. If you have clients at your desk often in an industry that’s client-sensitive (e.g. a bank, pharmacy or doctors office), a privacy screen will definitely benefit you. When you have people in your office often, you don’t want to take any chances, allowing bypassers to catch glimpses of your screen.
Protection and Anti Glare
Protecting your monitor and computer is key to maintaining your technology. Privacy screens also contribute to screen protection. When installed, a privacy screen keeps your display free from scratches, dust, fingerprints, and smudges. Privacy screens are anti-glare, so you won’t had to struggle with viewing the screen and your eyes won’t be strained or tired from looking at the screen all day.
Affordable and Realistic
Privacy screens are affordable, ranging in price from $20-$150 depending on the type of privacy screen and the size of your monitor. Start by installing the privacy screen on your desktop or your main work computer first. Then, if you find yourself really enjoying it, try installing privacy screens on your laptops, tablets, or other work devices you may take with you on the go. Because these screens are so affordable, if you find them helpful, it’s not too costly and very realistic to equip the rest of your electronics with privacy screens.
