WHY YOU SHOULD OUTSOURCE YOUR SHREDDING SERVICES

When your business wants to ensure the utmost security for disposing of confidential information, outsourcing your shredding services is your best option. It is inefficient to have an employee feed an office shredder to destroy all of your confidential information.

Using a secure shredding service for your document destruction needs means that you are not relying on your busy staff to destroy in a timely manner your sensitive information. A recurring shredding service minimizes the lifetime of the confidential information in your custody.

A NAID AAA certified company can provide customized services whether you consider yourself a paperless office or a small office. A regularly scheduled service provides shredding services that ensures your daily  security and increases your productivity.

SelectShred’s NAID AAA certification means that the way SelectShred  conducts its business will help to keep your office compliant with federal regulations. Having locked containers to receive all documents to be shredded, having the shredding done at your location, and receiving a certificate of destruction from a NAID AAA certified company ensure the integrity of your document security and destruction program.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU USE AN OFFICE SHREDDER

• Office shredders are a chore to use but a recurring shredding service is secure, economical, and convenient.

• Office shredders decrease productivity and profitability, costing twice as much to use as recurring shredding service.

• Office shredders require maintenance and frequent replacement.

• Office shredders provide no record of a compliant document destruction program if there is ever a legal challenge.

Shredded paper from the office shredder that is placed in plastic bags and thrown in the trash carries every bit of information that you tried to destroy, and you have no legal ownership of the trash — just ownership of the bad publicity due to misuse of the information found in the dumpster. Also, it is easier to avoid large fines if you have a document security program in place that is compliant with federal regulations.

DID YOU KNOW?

Federal laws such as HIPAA and FACTA require your business to protect the confidential information that you have in your custody. Also, the Federal Trade Commission imposes stiff penalties up to millions of dollars on companies that do not safeguard their consumers’ personal information.
