Why Shred?

Don't let confidential material fall into the wrong hands.

Shredder

Companies today generate more sensitive information on paper than ever before. With legal obligations to safeguard the destruction of that information, you need a dependable solution that is both efficient and secure. 


Shredded paper
From financial and medical records to private business documents, disposal procedures required by laws and regulations outlined or implied in FACTA, HIPAA, and the Wisconsin Privacy Act are very stringent.Violation of these regulations can potentially result in severe financial penalties.

While shredding on your own with an office shredder may seem secure, the “process” that an in-house program requires can have gaps in compliance workflows, insecure shred types and size, and inconsistencies in maintaining a company “shred policy”. Plus, office shredders can break down, create dust and noise, and simply be too inefficient for larger purges.

Fast. Practical. Secure.
And the right thing to do.

Employees

Your past and present employees retain a legal right to have their personal information, including health insurance and employment records, protected. Shredding before discarding is the best and most secure method to ensure privacy compliance.

Customers

Whether your customers are consumers or other companies, you are entrusted with information that they consider confidential and which needs to be destroyed securely.

Dumpster diving has become the number one source for investigative journalists, making privacy the newest consumer awareness issue.

Corporate Ethics

Today, it’s very important to exhibit the highest ethical standards. Casually discarding company information sends out the wrong message about your company.

Trade Information Rights

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that you forfeit your right of ownership to discarded information, risking your Trade Information Rights if you have not taken every step to protect your materials.
