Shred on Site

The healthcare sector has come under a lot of additional pressure over the past year or so as the COVID pandemic has increased patient numbers and generated a lot of extra paperwork. Effective operational management has been a vital part of the process of ensuring smooth running of patient care and creating the resources to continue to meet demand. Shredding provides the only reliable option for ensuring data destruction for businesses across the healthcare sector, and is a vital part of both compliance and retaining patient trust.

Ever since the start of the pandemic, remote working has become the norm for many businesses. Today, while there has been a return to the workplace at least part-time for many organisations, the hybrid working model is becoming much more widespread. This presents plenty of different challenges, not least when it comes to ensuring that information is kept safe in the course of day-to-day operations.

Shredding has become an operational essential for any business focused on compliance and data protection. It not only ensures against data theft but also provides proof of procedures that have been implemented to demonstrate compliance with the law. However, that’s not where the benefits of secure shredding end, as this vital process also has a lot to contribute to environmental protection too.
