How to Survive
Identity Theft
Professional paper shredding services are your best friend when it comes to protecting yourself or your business
from identity theft, privacy breach, or lawsuits related to information leak.
This article will provide you more information about the service
that shredding companies provide you with so that you can get an appreciation for what they do and see if that
fits your needs.
Most professional shredding companies, especially the ones that are a NAID member, provide you with collection
containers for confidential documents and records.
These can either be 94 or 65 gallon bins or they can be a
professional looking office console. All have locks and slots to insert the papers to keep any information
from being released.
Services that Paper Shredding Companies Provide:
1. On a schedule that fits your needs, shredding companies collect the confidential material for on-site or
off-site paper shredding and document destruction.
2. Afterward, you receive documentation to establish that you are complying with privacy protection laws and
regulations.
They provide convenient security collection containers (making it easy and convenient for employees to use)
3. Most of the good ones such as our company Shredex Online, will destroy fast, whether it is 10 lbs. or 1,000
boxes
4. They shred staples, clips, film, and CDs with no problem. Your regular shredder from Office Max cannot handle
that usually.
Using professional shredding contractors can free employees to do
their real job and can lead to significant productivity increase when you consider all your employees and the
amount of time they spend in organizing trash and manually shredding them page by page. This can, in itself,
be the reason to hire paper shredding companies.
5. Shredding companies make it cost effective for you usually. Your pricing is proportional to the size of your
load. The smaller the office, the more economical the service (the less you have, the less it costs).
Do Paper Shredding The Right Way:
Here are a few tips for you to remember why you plan on your document destruction policy:
1. Shred on a regular schedule.
Sporadic paper shredding or document destruction activities can be misconstrued as suspicious.
2. Use your shredding contractor for ALL of your shredding.
If some documents go to your shredding contractor on a regular basis, and others are shredded outside of that
process, it may draw attention to that activity.
Treat all documents equally...Shred EVERYTHING that you don't need.
Isolating special records for destruction could lead to the conclusion that those documents were treated
differently for the wrong reason. Never let some records go in the trash, while others are shredded.
3. Have a destruction policy.
If it explains the what, why, when and how of your destruction practices, a stated policy will minimize any hint of
impropriety.
