Secure destruction of documents containing private or confidential information is an essential part of your business and its day to day running. It is no longer just about the business processes you need, but fundamentally about social responsibility to be green and to follow the law.
It is vital for your business to make sure that you are complying with UK legislation and shredding everything that you should be. Many businesses are still using paper despite the move to a more digital approach. Therefore, it is important that you are shredding your private documents securely to protect against security breaches and privacy issues. Shred-on-Site realize that this is a necessary part of your business and offer mobile vehicles to provide on-site paper shredding to provide a convenient solution for you.
Onsite secure shredding services provide an alternative method to in-house paper shredding, with the added benefits of being both cost-effective and time-saving. Commercial mobile services can guarantee the secure destruction of your documents; however, it is important to keep these documents private before they are destroyed. Here are some ideas of how to do that:
When running a business in the UK it is important to consider the potential of security breaches to your data and how to reduce it. One such method is paper shredding, which disposes of your confidential documents using either mobile (on-site) or off-site industrial shredders, before sending the material to be recycled. However, there are some things to consider when choosing a shredding service for your business.
Your business will no doubt produce many documents containing sensitive information, such as bank statements and employee payslips. In fact, it is common practice within most businesses that almost all staff members will print confidential documents daily.
The UK is producing more than 20 million tonnes of paper waste annually, with over 85% of that being produced by the business community. With so much paper being wasted, the environmental impact is huge. Shred-on-Site have a ‘green’ approach to business, which is why we recycle your documents for you once they have been shredded. But how does this help the environment?
There are multiple options for secure paper shredding, meaning that it can take place off-site and on-site. When all documents are collected from a business and transported to a secure facility to be shredded, this is called off-site shredding. On-site (or mobile) shredding involves a truck driving to a business and uses an industrial-sized shredder to shred their documents whilst remaining at the facility. Staff members are also able to watch the shredding process during on-site shredding.
