Shredding all the sensitive information gathered during the course of your business day to day dealings can be time-consuming and expensive if you do it in-house. It is also harder to keep confidential information confidential. Consider this scenario: An employee throws information in the bin to be shredded. Someone comes behind that employee and sees that information. You have now exposed your customer or client’s information to at least one person who had no need to see it. That information gets out. Your client is unhappy, so you lose that business. You have to let at least two employees go as a result of the incident. Your business is now being sued by the client, by those fired employees, and by other clients who are concerned about the confidentiality of their information. The whole thing could be avoided by finding a cost effective, outside shredding service.
A mobile paper shredding company can destroy all your confidential and sensitive records. They can destroy information in other mediums as well, including electronic documents and hard drives. Shredding and destruction of records using a confetti process is the most secure and effective way to protect your clients, your employees, and your business. Six Steps in Shredding Response can save you time and money, as well as track and report results so you remain in compliance with reporting regulations.
Step one is the collection of material. Locked bins or cart are provided for you and the driver of the shredding unit collects it at a specific time. Step 2 consists of the driver scanning the bar-code on the bin. Charting of collections is step 3. Destroying the material in the truck from outside the unit is done in front of you in step 4. Step 5 is the printing of the certificate, and step 6 is generating the invoice.
It is that simple. Bins and carts are provided, and you only pay for the amount of material that is destroyed. You are saving time and money on personnel, equipment, and reporting. These Steps in Shredding Response can protect your business and keep sensitive information confidential and secure until it is completely destroyed.
