Why Shred?
|
Automated Shredding can help you ensure your own protection against identity theft and to protect the integrity and liability of your business
Every day printed, confidential information is produced and passed on to businesses and virtual strangers that have your most personal information. Identity theft continues to rise every year while governments and regulators around the globe constantly introduce legislation to help protect businesses and individuals.
But while rules and regulations are helping to ensure you and your company’s protection, there is something that you must do: properly dispose of your documents by shredding. Too many times personal identifiable information (PII), credit card statements, employment applications, medical records, etc. are not properly destroyed and can leave you readily exposed to identify theft. For businesses, you have even a greater responsibility in properly discarding your client and employees’ information in protecting them as well as your own business’s liability.
The trash is considered to be one of the most available sources of private and competitive information to other individuals as well as businesses. Shredding and destroying information on paper used to be considered a best practice. Now it’s the law. These laws include the Health Insurance Portability and Accessibility Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA).
