Shred on Site

Disposing of documents has become a necessary part of every business set up, particularly with the arrival of data protection legislation and the obligations to ensure that data is both securely disposed of and not held for longer than is necessary. On site shredding is an efficient and cost effective response to these requirements for business and, no matter what the size or structure of an organisation, there are some very attractive benefits to opting for professional document disposal in this way.

Secure confidential paper shredding is an essential process for any business that takes its responsibilities towards its customers, and its own staff, seriously. It is something that has become increasingly important in the light of data protection legislation and companies now face significant penalties for client and customer data that is accidentally leaked. For most, it is simply not worth the risk of ending up on the wrong side of the law, which is why secure confidential paper shredding provides peace of mind, as well as an attractively cost effective solution.

With identity theft becoming more commonplace and industrial espionage apparently on the rise (according to the Institute of Directors), the way we dispose of documents that might contain sensitive information is now more important than ever. However, whilst there are many very sensible reasons for a sound paper shredding policy for every business, in recent years the beefing up of legislation protecting privacy and data has meant that there are now legal requirements to ensure that information is safely disposed of – and some fairly hefty penalties to handle where this is ignored – and onsite secure shredding is the only way to comply.
