Security

Making sure you're secure

Although the electronic transfer and exchange of confidential information is now an everyday occurrence, the printing of documents is still standard practice in most workplaces. For the majority of businesses, antivirus software is considered a must-have tool to safeguard private electronic data, but what about the security of printed copies of these confidential files? The information contained in these documents is often easier to access than the originals saved on a computer. This represents a significant risk to business security if they ever fall into the wrong hands.

Protecting the security and privacy of your printed materials is our number one priority. All Shred-it customers are provided with locked security consoles to safely store their confidential documents before they are taken for secure shredding. The moment you deposit confidential materials into your office’s locked Shred-it console, you can rest assured that they are safe and secure. And the end-to-end chain of security remains unbroken until your confidential documents are securely shredded.

At your convenience, a privately insured, security-checked Shred-it Customer Service Representative will unlock your console and transport all confidential materials in a sealed security bag to a Shred-it truck outside your office for secure shredding.

Whether you choose to have your documents security shredded on site, whereby you can watch your confidential documents being destroyed for added peace of mind, or taken away to be securely destroyed, Shred-it can help.

And once your confidential materials have been securely shredded, you will be provided with a Certificate of Destruction to confirm the exact date and time of destruction, thereby guaranteeing the safe disposal of your now shredded confidential waste.

You can trust Shred-it’s secure shredding services to keep your confidential information, and that of your customers and employees, exactly that – confidential. By having secure shredding processes in place, it will help them to feel secure. And that in turn will help you feel secure as well.
