In a time when identity theft is common, it is more important now than ever, to ensure that the confidential documents held by your company are disposed of securely and correctly.

Virtually every business generates confidential waste. It could be confidential internal data which could jepodise business by giving competitors privileged information, or even worse, it could be the personal confidential information of your clients and customers. In order to prevent confidential details and privileged information falling into the wrong hands, it is important for them to be securely destroyed.

In October 1998 the new heightened Data Protection Bill became law with stricter rules on your customers data. This includes not holding data for longer than is necessary, and disposing of data by shredding.

Why Do We Need Confidential Destruction?

Taking simple steps like shredding all documents containing personal information, can cut the risk to you and your business.

All businesses need to be aware of their responsibilities under Data Protection Legislation and in this light, a managed system to identify and securely store confidential waste on site needs to be implemented.
