Businesses and organizations that deal with confidential information operate under high liability risks. It is their legal responsibility to protect that type of information from being read, used, sold, lost, or stolen. The best way to eliminate that risk is to utilize proper shredding procedures and techniques. Some companies does this in-house to reduce the risk, but that still leaves plenty of opportunity for misuse of the information. Shred security is at its highest when an independent company, with mobile shredding units, is in charge of the shredding process. Experienced shredding companies provide locked collection bins for business locations and shred certificates when the process is complete.
The steps involved eliminate the risk of liability regarding confidential information. A mobile destruction unit arrives at a business on a specific schedule. The schedule is customized to suit the size and the needs of the business. Collected material goes from a locked bin to a secured cart. A bar-code is scanned for each bin to indicate that it has been emptied. Once all the bins are emptied, the cart is locked and wheeled to the unit for immediate destruction. The cart is unlocked and placed on a lift. The lift dumps all the material directly into the shredder. The employee operates the shredder from outside the unit. Cameras allow a business representative to see the material being destroyed. A shred certificate is printed out once the process is completed.
Invoices are generated and sent to each business for payment. The process is secure, convenient, and cost-effective. Businesses can determine the frequency of visits, so they can control the costs.
A paper trail indicates due diligence in the shredding of all documents, so the liability risk is virtually eliminated. Mobile units have the capacity to shred 8,000 pounds of paper per hour, so they can handle the needs of large businesses with no problem. Customers can go to website name for detailed information on the process, to get a free estimate, or to schedule a free consultation. DVD, CD, memory sticks, hard drives, flash drives, and other electronic documentation can also be shredded. Clients trust certain businesses with their information, and those businesses have an obligation to protect it. It is simple and cost-effective to shred that information responsibly and eliminate risk.
