Every business accumulates documents in-house that eventually become obsolete and need to be disposed of. Since storage space is often limited in most offices, it’s extremely important to know how and where to dispose of these records. Remember that much of what your employees generate, the office circulates, and the documents being printed, contain private matters.
With that in mind, secure shredding is extremely important if you want these private details to remain protected beyond disposal.
While shredding in-house with an office shredder beats not shredding at all, there are several problems and security risks that are associated with these machines.
For the highest level of security measures, we highly recommend you forget about your office shredder and work with a document shredding company instead. Outsourcing your document shredding makes perfect sense, and we are about to dive into exactly why.
Here are 3 reasons to hire a document shredding company:
Keep Your Business, Employees, and Clients Protected
The biggest benefit you gain from professional document shredding is that your documents are disposed of securely, in a compliant manner and without risk of exposure.
For instance, if you work in the financial, healthcare, or government industry, your business is likely subject to specific laws regarding the handling and protection of personally identifiable information (PII). What does this mean for you? You are legally mandated to look after sensitive documents in a manner that maintains confidentiality from the moment those documents are in your hands, through until disposal.
Keeping track of regulations and what items to shred and keep can be overwhelming and confusing. With ATI SecureDocs, you don’t have to worry about any of that. As a general rule however, shred anything that is questionable. Even if it seems irrelevant to you, it could provide a thief with exactly the information they are looking for. Through our ongoing shredding option, your business will be equipped with free, lockable collection bins so you can safely and securely dispose of files while they await shredding. This added security helps to keep your business, employees, and clients protected
