Shred on Site

A shredding service has become a no-brainer for most businesses today. The volume of sensitive data that passes through most organisations means that effective security can’t really be achieved without it. Obsolete documents and paper waste offer significant opportunities for criminals and fraudsters, which is why it’s so vital to ensure these are properly destroyed. However, if you’re looking for the best possible security for your business then an onsite shredding service is the best option. Here’s why:

• Effectively mitigating risk. One of the biggest risks with a regular shredding service is what happens to documents between leaving the office premises and arriving at the shredding site. There is a lot that could go wrong in this time, from bags of shredding being left in the wrong place to documents intentionally stolen. This is a risk that can be simply mitigated by working with an onsite shredding service. Lockable consoles are provided for paper waste that is to be shredded and these are only opened at the moment of shredding. Documents and files are destroyed before they leave the premises so security risk is minimised.
• Flexible and accommodating. Working with an onsite shredding service means having a reliable schedule of document destruction that works around your needs. You can choose the frequency, dates and times so that you’re never left with a build up of shredding - a big security risk in itself. An onsite shredding service will also be flexible, so if you need to add some extra dates and times, you can.
• A cost effective way to achieve data security. There are a lot of costs associated with transporting documents for shredding, from vehicles and fuel through to the time required from those who are going to do the transporting. None of these needs to be factored in when you’re working with an onsite shredding team. They will arrive at the premises and handle the entire process for you. None of your staff need to waste time on handling the shredding, or transporting the documents, and you won’t need to pay for transport vehicles either. You’ll get all the financial benefits of working with a shredding partner - including minimising up front costs, avoiding ongoing maintenance costs or having to pay for energy to power the shredding equipment - right on your doorstep.
• Calm peace of mind. Businesses today have enough concerns without having to worry about, and monitor, what’s happening to documents that are going to be shredded. If you’re working with an onsite shredding service then you won’t need to track your documents as they leave to be shredded, or monitor to ensure they reach the right destination. You’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that these documents will be professionally dealt with and that your shredding requirements will always be handled at the right time.

Whether you’re looking for a regular schedule of shredding, or a one-off shredding service opting for onsite shredding makes a lot of sense.
