We live in an age of information, and we constantly handle it in our daily lives. ATI Secure Docs provides secure shredding services for homes and businesses across Texas to keep your information safe.
What is Shredding?
Shredding is the process by which materials with sensitive information are physically destroyed. This guarantees that they can never be reconstructed and that the information they contained can never be stolen. As ATI Secure Docs is a professional company with AAA certification from the National Association for Information Destruction, our shredding process adheres to the highest standards for privacy protection.
We carefully follow the mandates outlined by state and federal regulations, allowing our customers to enjoy the full privacy of their information and adhere to industry compliance standards where applicable.
Once your items enter the shredding machine, they won’t leave – even after they’ve been shredded – until we deposit them with our verified local recycling partner. Our shredding vehicles are all equipped with GPS tracking, so from the second your documents enter our care, we’ll know precisely where they are at all times.
Types of Materials We Shred
- Personal papers
- Tax documents Health records Hard drives
- Hard drives
- Floppy discs
Whatever the size of your shredding task, we can tailor our secure data destruction services to address your particular needs or work with you to create an ongoing plan for dealing with information or equipment which has reached its end of life cycle.
What are the Benefits of Shredding?
The most obvious benefit of shredding is the protection of confidential information. However, there are many other ways that shredding can help you and your home or business.
Save Time
Our shredding machines can churn through thousands of sheets of paper every minute, processing up to 8,000 lbs of paper every hour.
What would normally take you (or an employee) hours every week can be accomplished in a few minutes.
Save Money
Buying an in-house shredder, especially one that’s outfitted to meet state and federal privacy regulations, isn’t cheap. It keeps costing you money as it wears down or gets jammed, and that’s not counting the lost money in an employee’s time to run it.
Professional business and residential shredding isn’t just a fast way to get the job done – it’s cheaper and more effective.
Save Your Peace of Mind
Let’s say that you decide to take on your shredding yourself. Can you destroy documents according to all legal guidelines that apply to your industry? Is the shredding to a sufficient point where a determined thief couldn’t reconstruct the pieces? Do you have somewhere secure to bring the shredded bits, and how can you guarantee their safety after they leave your sight?
ATI is certified by the National Association of Information Destruction. Our expertise is centered around the protection of confidential information, which means that we maintain end-to-end security measures throughout the process.
When you trust your documents to our care, you provide yourself with a guarantee that your documents will never be lost or misplaced. You’ll have treated your discarded information in a responsible, environmentally-friendly way, and you’ll know that it’s been safely – and permanently – discarded.
Who Really Needs Shredding?
Your personal information is one of your most valuable assets, and we want to help you protect it. Our residential shredding program rolls right to your front door. Tell your technician what you want shredded – a box full of junk mail, a trash can full of old records from your spring cleaning, a few hard drives from your home office – and they’ll handle the rest.
Maybe you don’t go through the same volume of papers that large corporations do, but you still need to protect information, whether it’s internal company memos or customer details. Our one-time shredding service is perfect for occasional purges, and you can easily transfer to on-going shredding, even if you only need it a few times a year.
There are a lot of constant decisions that have to be made to keep a large-scale organization running smoothly, but information disposal shouldn’t be one of them. If you regularly process large amounts of information, or you’re a member of a specific industry, our on-going shredding service comes complete with locking storage bins. These bins provide a safe, secure place to store confidential documents until your scheduled shredding day.
They’re designed to blend into any kind of work environment, so they can become a natural integration into your company’s daily workflow. When our technicians arrive to empty the bins, they’ll shred all documents on-site and provide you with a Certificate of Destruction for your records. This acts as a legal way to prove that you disposed of the information in a safe and compliant manner.
