Business owners need to protect their corporate secrets. If they throw paper into a dumpster, their competitor might be waiting to go take a look at it. Both employees and clients expect a business to protect their information. When confidential information protected by privacy laws end up in the wrong hands, it can lead to a costly lawsuit. Many businesses have already learned from television shows that the police have the right to search dumpsters for information. Therefore they decide that they should shred documents. Up until this point they have carefully controlled access to confidential material. Some companies actually let anyone who is free shred the documents.
A much better solution is to hire a professional and bonded paper shredding service. Shred Confidential knows how to hire and train people. They put proper processes in place so that their employees cannot steal information and then sell them. They are a mobile Paper Shredding in Los Angeles service so they do the shredding at the client’s facility. When the shredding crew arrives, they just put the papers in the shredder, they are trained not to look at them. Since they have no interest in the company’s gossip, they have little interest in them. Paper is no longer the only medium that stores data. Shred Confidential can also destroy information on computer discs and other electronic storage devices. Their tech savvy crews can ensure that all copies of a document are destroyed.
Document safety begins with proper internal handling. Secure bins are located near work stations. Once it has been put in these, people can’t walk buy and pull them out. When the Paper Shredding in Los Angeles crew arrives a specially trained and vetted employee collects the material from each bin and puts in in a cart. Each bin has a bar-code and that is scanned into a device. The locked cart is then taken to the shredding station to be destroyed. It is then unlocked and put on a lifting station that dumps it into the shredder. A shredding certificate is automatically generated. All of the steps are electronically documented. At the end of the process this information is emailed to the proper company officials.
