Let’s face it, it’s pretty cathartic getting rid of old documents and having a good clear out, even though at first it might seem like a daunting and frankly overwhelming task, once it is all gone it leaves you with a clear head and empty space.
Though what of that documentation? What does it contain? bank statements, bills, delivery notes, receipts or perhaps copies of identifiable data such as; photocopies of passports, utility bills, ID documents, case notes, financial statements, medical records, and legal documents?
All of which is highly sensitive personal data, which could fall into the wrong hands and leave you and your business in hot water, if you do not get these redundant documents shredded in a timely fashion using professional shredding services.
Are you 100% sure where your unwanted paperwork and documents are going? How are they being disposed of securely? And can you see the destruction process firsthand with the company you have selected to undertake your document destruction?
Getting down to brass tacks
Do you realise that some shredding companies are collecting and storing your documents for a period of time, often dare we say it weeks or even months? They are then farming out their shredding to another company when they have sufficient quantities to send.
That’s a scary prospect considering you are paying for a secure document destruction process so that your own data and that of your customers are safe. Your business reputation really could be at risk if you don’t dispose of unwanted, but sensitive data securely, and in a timely manner.
We challenge you to….
Ask your shredding company where your paperwork goes once collected from your office?
Does the person you deal with pass your information to the shredding company?
Do they have a shredder on-site? can you see it? can you watch it being shredded?
