Shred on Site

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force on 25^th May 2018. This key EU regulation is set to shake up the way that businesses handle consumer data and, despite the imminent UK exit from the EU, it will still apply next year. So, for every business, there is now some urgency to ensuring that internal processes comply with the GDPR and that the way that personal information and customer data is handled and disposed of won’t create problems for the business.

Sustainability and green working environments are becoming increasingly important to businesses. Not only do sustainable credentials contribute to attracting and retaining clients and creating a better brand reputation but they can help your business to be more cost effective too. So, how does on-site paper shredding play a role in helping your business to be more sustainable?

Information security needs to be a top priority for every business. With more stringent requirements incoming for data protection, and consumers and companies for more demanding about how sensitive data is handled, there are no longer any excuses for not ensuring that your in-house security is up to scratch when it comes to data protection. Alongside the raft of digital protections that are available via firewalls and anti virus software, on-site shredding has a part to play in this too.
