Your customers, employees, and vendors entrust you with their information. Protecting their data from the moment it’s collected until its final disposal is a big responsibility. Without proper safeguards, you put their privacy and your business at risk. In this blog, we discuss the benefits of a professional shredding service.
Federal and State Privacy Law Compliance
The government has laws and regulatory standards concerning consumer privacy. Failure to comply with state and federal privacy laws can lead to costly non-compliance fines and damage your reputation. A professional shredding service helps you meet HIPAA, FACTA, SOX, GLB, and state requirements.
Identity Theft Protection
Identity theft is a big problem, and businesses are prime targets for thieves who steal confidential personal, financial, and medical data. A professional shredding service eliminates negligent information disposal risks that put your employees and customers at risk of identity theft.
Enhanced Productivity
Researchers have proven that paper clutter disrupts workplace productivity. Routine shredding of unwanted documents frees up space so everyone in your company is as efficient as possible. Yet, few businesses set aside time to get rid of old paper records. A professional shredding service saves you the hassle and expense of shredding documents in house.
Your shredding partner works with you to create a customized shredding schedule. Once your schedule is set, you never have to worry about shredding again. Shredding collection containers are placed in convenient locations throughout your facility so you and your employees can securely dispose of outdated business documents in a fraction of the time it takes to use a paper shredder.
Convenience
Using an office shredder is time consuming, and you have other tasks that need to get done. A professional shredding service helps you prioritize revenue growth. Whether you drop off your documents or have a mobile shredding vehicle come to your office, you save time and reap profits.
Customized Destruction Options
Every business, including yours, has unique document destruction needs. A professional shredding service offers a range of information disposal options to meet your budget and logistical requirements:
- Onsite Mobile Paper Shredding
- Drop-Off Shredding
- One-Time Shredding and Purges
- Regularly Scheduled Shredding
With a professional shredding service, you always have access to a convenient and reliable document destruction solution.
A Healthy Planet
Besides protecting your business, a professional shredding service keeps the planet green. Your documents are recycled after they’re shredded. Each ton of recycled paper saves:
- 17 trees
- 378 gallons of oil
- 2.3 cubic yards of landfill space
