Secure Shredding and Data Destruction Services are widely utilized in many industries, such as medicine, finance, and law, improperly discarded information can result in legal action and/or fines. Virtually any data discarded without the proper security can leave you vulnerable to competitors, investigative reporters, dumpster divers, and identity thieves. Each year, U.S. homes and businesses lose tens of billions of dollars due to information theft.
What Does Compliance Mean?
When we talk about compliance, we’re referring to the state and federal guidelines that establish proper disposal guidelines for sensitive or confidential information. There are different regulations for different industries, which can make it difficult to keep track of the rules that apply to you and your business.
One of the most famous examples of this sort of legislation is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This act directly addresses how companies that deal with the medical information of a patient or client are to keep records, dispose of old data, and actively protect the information currently in their care. If someone were to be HIPAA compliant, this would mean that they had structured their business to run in accordance with the rules laid out by the act.
Does Compliance Apply to My Business?
To determine whether or not your company is under an obligation to maintain compliance with security laws, the easiest question you can ask is this: does your business handle the personal or confidential information of its clients or customers? If the answer is yes, there are likely privacy laws that pertain to your industry.
Fortunately, maintaining compliance is actually much easier than it sounds. The secret? Outsourcing your data disposal to a professional, accredited service.
