In a recent court testimony, employee Jeffrey McConney revealed that sensitive documents were stored in a locked drawer due to the nature of the information they contained. The documents, which were part of the payroll book, included confidential details such as social security numbers.
McConney acknowledged that most drawers in the office were kept locked to ensure the security of sensitive information. When questioned by attorney Emil Bove about the importance of safeguarding salary and bonus details to prevent rumors, McConney agreed that confidentiality was crucial.
During the testimony, it was clarified that the invoices and notes related to Michael Cohen's reimbursements were not classified as highly sensitive. However, they were stored alongside other payroll documentation in the locked drawer as a standard security measure.
The revelation sheds light on the meticulous approach taken by the company to protect confidential data and maintain privacy within the organization. By securely storing sensitive documents, the company aims to uphold professionalism and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
