Shredding the Right Information is Vital
Despite advances in technology, the printing of documents is still standard practice in most workplaces. Unless confidential printed documents are disposed of securely, there is always the risk that they could fall into the wrong hands, threatening the security and privacy of your business. Storofile's paper shredding solutions can help to reduce this risk.
Protecting the security and privacy of your printed materials is our number one priority. In line with the Data Protection Act, every business needs to keep its confidential information, and that of its customers and employees, secure.
Document protection remains a key component of all privacy legislation and compliance standards in the UK. As such, it’s not just good business practice to keep your confidential materials protected – it’s the law.
Knowing what documents need to be shredded is vital. Often sensitive information is simply thrown in the bin by employees who do not realise their importance. Invoices, company reports, payroll information, customer lists and even complaints are all confidential, and therefore need to be securely destroyed.
Here is a guideline of what materials should be shredded:
