The Proper Disposal of Information Matters Now More Than Ever
Properly shredding and destroying client records is just as important as securely storing it. This prevents sensitive documents from falling into the wrong hands, prevents financial organizations from breaches and ensures employees can operate at optimal levels while maintaining client trust.
When searching for a shredding service, consider the following questions:
- Does the facility at which your documents will be shredded record access via key cards and video surveillance?
- Can your shredding service provide certificates of destruction or videos of client documents being destroyed?
- Is a mobile shredding service available to shred documents at your office?
- Can the service handle the disposing of hard drives, flash drives, mobile phones, RAM or ROM-based storage and other devices?
If a shredding service cannot ensure the secure shredding and destruction of client documents and office devices, your financial office could be held legally liable. This could come with hefty fines and other disciplinary actions.
Don’t take chances. Protect client privacy and your financial organization by working with a shredding service that takes security seriously. Learn more, today.
