ShredBank offers a professional
secure document disposal service’. Any confidential
information stored in unsecured bins or recycling bags
in your office is at risk from identity thieves and fraudsters.
In fact the longer it sits around waiting to be destroyed,
the more chance it has of being read by a third party,
copied or even stolen. This in turn could compromise
your company’s client confidentiality, financial
integrity and intellectual property placing your reputation
and competitiveness at risk. It is your responsibility
to carry out secure document shredding to maintain the
privacy of your clients and your staff.
Data Protection Act
Under the terms of the Data Protection Act,
all companies are responsible for any personal information
such as names, addresses or financial and legal documents held
about their clients and staff. This includes ensuring that
any sensitive information is properly destroyed so that it
cannot be used for fraudulent purposes, (such as one of the
UK’s fastest growing crimes, Identity Theft). If found
to be negligent, managers or data controllers could be held
personally liable for any fraud committed, leading to fines
or even a criminal conviction.
Corporate Confidentiality
Even if you trust a third party to dispose
of your confidential materials, you still have a duty of care
to check that the information has been properly disposed of;
a procedure which is difficult to monitor effectively if your
documents are taken off-site before shredding.
With ShredBank, unlike some providers, no one
can see or touch your materials from the time they are placed
in the secure cabinet to the time they are shredded.
Cost Efficiency
Disposing properly of confidential waste takes
time, money and a great deal of effort. In-house shredding
machines require a lot of maintenance, they take time to operate
- interrupting hectic work schedules and they generate a lot
of mess and dust. Not only do we manage the whole waste collection
process, from the secure storage of documents to their shredding,
but we also bale the waste and deliver it directly to our recycling
facilities.
