Shred on Site

While a digital environment is the goal for many businesses across the economy, documents remain in circulation and frequent use. Particularly in sectors such as law and finance, there may be a need to have physical papers and documents and these frequently contain sensitive or highly confidential information. Whether that relates to individuals or organisations it can open up a business to fraud and reputational risk if it is not properly protected and disposed of. That’s why it’s so essential that every organisation has a system for paper shredding in place.

The pro-environmental movement has been strong in recent years and there has been a great deal of focus on minimising waste and reducing the use of single-use plastics, as well as other substances such as palm oil. Whether or not your business is motivated by green objectives there are a lot of benefits to integrating a more sustainable and less wasteful approach to operations. Not only does this improve social responsibility and eco-credentials but it can also help you to streamline costs and ensure that your business can continue to thrive if tougher regulations are introduced.

It’s easy to underestimate the importance of effective shredding and destruction when it comes to business documents and data. Many organisations still manage this in-house, leaving significant room for error and potentially creating unnecessary vulnerabilities for the business in the process. Working with a shredding partner to outsource your secure shredding and destruction has a lot of advantages. Not only are you sharing some of the risks this way but you will also have the peace of mind of knowing that certain standards have been met.
