Most organizations invest in office shredding machines with the best intention: to shred confidential business documents quickly so they don’t end up in wastebaskets and recycle bins. However, rarely does this provide a reliable, secure, and timely method for the disposal of sensitive information. In reality, in an effort to save time, confidential documents ultimately end up in that wastebasket or recycle bin anyway, or perhaps on a desktop or in a pile somewhere “waiting” to be shredded.
The Consequences of Not Shredding Can Be Disastrous for Your Business
If the documents you have on hand in the office aren’t shredded at the end of their lifecycle, whether that is one minute after they were printed or 10 years later, sensitive customer, employee, and company information can be compromised. Clients and staff members can become victims of identity theft, while corporate trade secrets, internal memos, and financial information may be leaked. The breach of regulations put forth in legislation such as HIPAA, FACTA, and GLB can result in heavy fines, or in some instances, jail time for corporate officers.
Outsourcing your business shredding provides you with a formal document destruction program that reduces your liability for the breach of confidential information. We offer our commercial clients NAID AAA Certified shredding and destruction services that provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for the proper disposal of your paper records.
Your Western New York Shredding Company
A scheduled shredding service is designed for organizations that regularly generate sensitive documents that need to be destroyed securely. For your convenience and security, Lincoln Archives provides a variety of sizes and types of lockable shredding collection containers to fit your specific needs.
Once the bins are placed at your facility, together we’ll determine a schedule for how often your documents need to be shredded.
Shredding service frequency is normally set by weeks, such as every one, two, four, six, or eight weeks. A Lincoln Archives security expert will arrive at your business location on the pre-scheduled dates to service your shredding collection containers. Your papers will then be shredded on-site or off-site, depending on the agreement.
All our shredding services are performed by our document destruction specialists, who are thoroughly background-checked and bonded for the security and safety of our clients and their confidential information.
A Certificate of Destruction is given to clients after each service visit. It reflects the date and the amount of shredding done, and also serves as proof that your sensitive information was destroyed beyond reconstruction and disposed of securely in an environmentally-friendly manner.
No more fussing with the frustrating shredding machine that’s always jamming or overheating! We’ll take care of all your shredding requirements for you.
Lincoln Archives provides scheduled, recurring shredding services to commercial clients throughout Western New York, including the greater Buffalo and Rochester areas and everywhere in between.
