    With how common electronics are used today, especially in businesses, it is likely that they store this type of information on a computer . I have a feeling some employees will have access to it; there is a risk of company information being leaked or identity theft. A large portion of businesses allow their employers to accept payment information over the phone.

Tracking of all computers, phones and USB drives containing crucial company information should always be done.
