Shred on Site

The paperless environment is the aim for many businesses in 2017 but the reality is that this still creates a wide range of data-soaked media. Non-paper media could be anything from X-rays, to CDs and DVDs, which have been loaded up with often-highly sensitive material that would be a disadvantage in the wrong hands. With data privacy and security increasingly high up on the priorities list for businesses, it’s important to consider the destruction of non-paper media as much as traditional documents.

Safe and secure data disposal is now crucial for every business. Whether you’re dealing with paper documents or non-paper media, such as CDs or USB sticks, the standards of safe disposal are higher than they have ever been. Legal compliance, preserving reputation and ensuring greater operational efficiency are just a few of the reasons why shredding makes a huge difference to the ability a business has to meet expectations.

Businesses are more often being held accountable by their customers to demonstrate strong ethical values and environmentally beneficial processes. This is why many businesses have a corporate social responsibility (CSR) requirement which is implemented in-house to ensure that they are following the company’s ethos and expectations at all times.
