Commercial Paper Shredding vs Traditional Office Shredders

Traditional office shredder machines used to be the gold standard for companies that needed to maintain secure destruction of confidential documents. Now, with advancements in resources and technologies, outsourcing your commercial shredding services is more cost-effective, reliable, and convenient. Office shredders require labor and maintenance and take time to use. Office shredders are much less secure than a professional commercial paper shredding service. Employees have access to confidential documents and data and may commit information theft, misuse, non-compliance, or errors resulting in data theft or loss. A personal office shredder is more of a hassle and results in more mess, waste, and lost time than hiring an outside commercial shredding service.

Rules and Regulations for Document and Data Destruction

All companies that deal with sensitive, private, and confidential employee or customer data must adhere to federal and state data destruction laws. These laws include:

 

  • HIPAA – The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was passed in 1996 and protects medical records and prevents their disclosure. HIPAA data destruction laws require the following:
    • Paper records must be shredded, burned, pulverized, or pulped until protected information is unreadable and can’t be reconstructed.
    • All labeled prescription bottles must be stored in opaque bags until a regulated disposal contractor destroys them.
    • All electronic information must be cleared using reliable, regulated overwriting software or magnetic methods.
  • The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – This Act was established in 1984 and regulates data collection and technology. It prohibits computer access without authorization and enacts punishments for unauthorized access, distribution, dissemination, and manipulation of data or information on someone else’s computer.
  • The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act – This Act mandates that all financial institutions must be transparent about their information-sharing policies when communicating with consumers. They must also protect customer-sensitive information and complete data destruction in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s regulations.
  • Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 – This Act protects investors from corporate fraud by requiring stringent record management and guidelines for retaining, auditing, and destroying financial data.
  • Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act – This Act was created in 2003 and protects consumers from identity theft. It requires that all businesses protect consumer data and adhere to special data disposal guidelines.
