Where could the biggest risk to your business lie?

In your rubbish bin.

Confidential Destruction

Corporate identity theft is on the rise, costing every company affected an estimated £2 million. Where would fraudsters obtain the information necessary to assume your organisation’s identity? Without a robust document disposal policy, the answer could be your rubbish bin.

Data Protection legislation warrants that all company directors are personally liable for the secure and confidential destruction of all documents or data which identify living individuals. Failure to fulfill these legal responsibilities could result in prosecution and unwanted press coverage. What price your hard-won reputation?

An organisation’s obligation to ensure the secure and responsible disposal of confidential company records is every bit as important as the conditions under which they are stored throughout their retention period. You need to be 100% confident that your documents have been appropriately and securely destroyed once the regulatory and business need to retain them has expired.

Why not let Recordsmanagement’s ‘Birth to Death’ Records’ Management service remove this risk to your organisation, and provide protection for both your reputation, and your corporate identity?

  • Our Ministry of Defence vetted drivers will collect your confidential documents directly from your office, using strong, polypropylene sacks, secured with barcoded ties.
  • The contents of each sack will be emptied directly into an industrial shredder, and cross-shredded. Paperclips, lever arch files and plastic wallets need not be removed – the shredder will tear through these with ease.
  • Once shredded, all paper waste is pulped and recycled – strictly in accordance with Recordsmanagement’s ISO 14001 accreditation.
  • The entire process is subject to a comprehensive audit trail, with signatures obtained at each and every step, and an itemised Certificate of Destruction produced for your own auditing purposes at the end of the process.

Recordsmanagement provides a full confidential destruction service for both archives stored at our premises, and non-stored, office waste.
