Advantages of Scheduled Shredding Services

While many companies invest in digital security systems to maintain the privacy of their private information, there is still a need to protect sensitive information that is stored on tangible paper documents. Sadly, this need is sometimes overlooked or undermanaged, causing a company to lose time, money, and productivity. Some companies have lost trade secrets, proprietary formulas, and financial records, causing them immense business losses and damaging their reputations.

For businesses today, it is essential to hire a commercial paper shredding company to ensure their information is destroyed properly. Scheduled shredding isn’t just a tedious procedure; it’s essential to data security, and it can save your company money. Document destruction companies can assist in clearing out office space, increasing productivity and protecting the valuable information that you have accumulated.

Here Are Just Five Main Advantages of Scheduled Shredding Services:

• Efficiency – It is often said that time is money, and it couldn’t be more true in today’s fast-paced business world. If employees must spend their time shredding paper, they won’t be able to devote their energy to the projects you need to achieve maximum productivity and profit. Choosing to outsource your shredding needs to a professional lets your team focus and get back to specific work duties.
• Security – We’re familiar with the laws surrounding information security, and we can destroy your documents in accordance with all government regulations so that they are unrecoverable. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Fair Trade and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), and Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) all apply federal standards governing the privacy of confidential information. You will meet all privacy protection standards if you shred regularly. From lockable collection bins to tracking systems that monitor your documents, the ATI SecureDocs team has implemented stringent security measures to protect our clients while remaining compliant. We also provide customers with a Certificate of Destruction following the process, to verify that your documents have been destroyed properly, protecting you from costly claims.
• Save Money – One way or another, companies that produce a lot of documentation will have to dispose of it. The space needed to store a high volume of documents, the time taken for staff to properly shred them, plus the costs involved with in-house shredding, add up to much more than what you can expect with scheduled shredding. Our scheduled shredding services will keep your office space clutter-free and running smoothly at an affordable price, as we will develop a schedule based on the needs of your business.
• Limit Liability – Regularly scheduled shredding services allows your current employees to be more productive so they can continue to focus on more important business matters than sitting at an office shredder, feeding paper through a machine. With a shredding company, you’ll have the option of having document collection containers installed in your workplace, allowing employees to discard items in a secure fashion. These containers are then emptied according to your shred schedule and your documents are then collected, transported to a facility and destroyed accordingly.
• Protect Your Reputation – Most companies rely on their reputation to keep customers coming back. When documents are not properly destroyed, they may fall into the wrong hands, which could harm your company’s reputation. The costs of managing the negative PR can be hundreds, if not thousands of dollars – that’s money lost! You will lose the trust of your clients, employees, and possibly even your whole community.

The advantages of scheduled shredding are so great that the only question to be asked is: why would you dispose of your documents in any other method? Our scheduled shredding services are both affordable and professional.

That all said, if you need a secure and reliable way to protect your sensitive information and want to save on time, money and resources, start by letting ATI SecureDocs handle your scheduled shredding needs!
