Secure Shredding
Why is Shredding necessary?
The main reason for shredding is to comply with Privacy laws adopted by most countries these days. In addition, there is a tremendous ecological advantage as shredded material ends up being recycled. Privacy Laws require businesses to properly dispose of customer information and no protection can be expected should you not adhere to the process.
Privacy & Legislation
Privacy issues have taken centre stage in recent years. And for good reason – crisis such as terrorism, corporate espionage, and identity fraud – all, on some level, related to theft or disclosure of confidential information – plague our daily routines and the lives of loved ones and colleagues. Governments and regulators around the world continue to develop legislation to help protect individuals and businesses, but prevention still is the best solution!
Old Archived Records
The period that business records are stored should be determined by a retention schedule that takes into consideration the records' usefulness to the business as well as legal requirements. From a risk management perspective, once this period has passed, the only acceptable way of discarding these records is to destroy them using a method that ensures complete destruction. The globally accepted method is to shred this material to at least level 2 security in commercial environments.
