Shred on Site

Over the last decade we have seen a significant shift to digital documents and workflows across the business community. However, the reality is that very few offices are yet a genuinely paper-free environment. From office policies, to important emails and attachments, the average office still creates vast volumes of printed materials in a single day, many of which are sensitive or highly confidential. On-site shredding is the only true solution to ensuring that data in these documents is protected and the business is not exposed to unnecessary risk as a result of regular paper use.

There are many risks for the average business when it comes to inadequate data protection. From customer attrition to reputational damage, if customer data is lost or made public, there is the potential for tangible impact on the business’ bottom line. However, that’s not the only potential disadvantage of not properly disposing of documents that contain personal data – a lack of legal compliance could have serious consequences too.

Document shredding has many benefits for an individual business. Some of these have a positive impact on margins and efficiency and others are socially responsible. A simple switch to this more effective method of document disposal could not only save your business time and money and reduce risk but also have a broader positive impact too.
