SELECTSHRED – FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION PARTNERSHIP
Having a document destruction company means that you have a third-party partner in your ongoing effort to fight identity theft, safeguard confidential information, protect individual privacy, and protect trade secrets and proprietary information. A secure, convenient, and economical document destruction service is the ally that you need to make sure that shredding your confidential documents will be given the same importance as any other service that is required to keep your business safe, secure, and profitable.
The following are five things to know about your document destruction partnership:
- To know how your confidential information was destroyed; to know where it was destroyed; to know who destroyed it; and to know when it was destroyed.
- To know that the legal chain of custody is not broken because your confidential information is destroyed at your location. It is not transported to a remote facility for sorting and destruction at a later date.
- To know that you fulfilled your obligations to protect the confidential information in your custody, from its proper retention through its responsible destruction, by using a NAID AAA certified company.
- To know that you are in compliance with federal regulations such as FACTA, GLBA, and HIPAA by having a secure document destruction program in place, including receiving a certificate of destruction for your record.
- To know that you have an environmentally friendly policy because all of your shredded paper is recycled into new paper products and the shredded paper is not placed in the landfill. Your confidential information is shredded first and then recycled.
Building a relationship with your shredding provider will go a long way toward avoiding identity theft and information theft. Your shredding service is a necessary professional partnership. It will keep your business secure and prevent your confidential information from getting into the wrong hands. Never consider shredding documents as getting rid of trash. You should safeguard the confidential information in your custody in the same manner that you would protect any other asset.
