Shred on Site

Document shredding has become an important part of business security. It not only helps to protect enterprise-specific information but is crucial for compliance when it comes to the way that sensitive and confidential information is handled. For any business today that is serious about ensuring that it has robust procedures in place to avoid the fines and penalties that can result from a data breach - as well as the reputational damage - shredding is an important part of the process.

While all the focus recently has been on mitigating the impact of COVID-19, now that we’re at the start of a new year where it could potentially be less of a problem it’s important to refocus. Security threats remain a challenge for every organisation. Tougher economic conditions and a change to the way we work have added in more opportunities for potential exploitation of vulnerabilities. Awareness is crucial, which is why we’ve compiled a top 5 list of security threats for your business to stay on top of this year.

Data theft can happen at any time and from anywhere and, today, criminals who are looking to steal personal details will find them wherever they can. This includes schools, which are a huge resource of data and places that are increasingly being targeted by those who want to get hold of that information. A secure document shredding partner is increasingly becoming essential for every place of education to ensure that the school is both legally compliant and protecting the people in its community.
