Document destruction is one of the most important parts of your document management process.

It’s imperative to shred inactive records that are past their required retention times or documents that have been scanned and imported into a document management system not only to remain compliant with various laws but also to minimize the odds of any sensitive information falling into the wrong hands.

Choosing the right confidential document destruction services depends on an array of factors including volume of documents, whether you need recurring or one-time services, and if you need to witness the shredding.

Off-Site Shredding Services

Ideal for larger shredding projects, off-site shredding is a service that comes to your location to pick up the lockable document bins you’re given and transport them to a secure facility where your paper can be shredded with thousands of other documents.

It’s one of the more cost-effective ways to ensure your files are shredded without having to drop them off at a shredding company.

Hard Drive Destruction Services

Simply formatting a hard drive doesn’t truly destroy data—there is a range of ways identity thieves or corporate spies can recover that information and use it against your company.

With hard drive destruction services though you can ensure the platters in your hard drive are rendered completely unreadable, and afterward you’re given a certificate of destruction that verifies the service was completed.
