The world is moving into the digital landscape and so are businesses. However, the transition and adaptation to the electronic mode can be rather cumbersome. More often than not, this transition creates loopholes that can make enterprises fall prey to data theft. Hiring professional document shredding companies can help you ensure secure data destruction.

If you are ready to leap into electronic data management, these are the facts about document shredding that you should be aware of:

  1. One out of every five data breaches involves paper records, the 2015 BakerHostetler Incident Response Report reveals. If your businesses' paper trail is not destroyed appropriately, your company may become a data breach victim.
  2. Document shredding is a matter of legal compliance. Relevant legislations mandate safeguarding all private information of the stakeholders of a company. Confidential documents, even if outdated, need to be shredded not only for security and cyber-security reasons but also because it is the law
  3. The most advanced document shredding machines produce paper pieces measuring a mere 3 mm x 9 mm to ensure that the document is 100% irretrievable. If you use shredders that cut the paper into strips, your documents can still be pieced together.
  4. Document shredding services are not just for the papers and records, but also include the destruction of storage devices like hard drives. Industrial shredders can shred through rubber bands, staples, binder clips, and hanging file folders.
  5. Document shredding companies provide you with a Certificate of Destruction after the process. This certificate ensures that all your sensitive information and confidential documents are destroyed securely and as per the highest standards of the industry.
  6. Since owning and upgrading shredding machines can be tedious, outsourcing document shredding services is cost-effective for companies. Professional document shredding eliminates in-house document disposal tasks that otherwise cost employee productivity.
  7. On-site document shredding ensures better confidentiality and security. While document shredding companies offer to collect your documents for destruction, document destruction within the company premise guarantees better information security.
