- Contracts, invoices, sales targets, and reports
- Company bank documents and other confidential business data
- Names, phone numbers, and email addresses of staff
- Banking information, employee data, client information, scanned payment documents, commercial proposals, internal financial documents, partnership agreements, certifications, and data backups.
