Why Shredding is Necessary for your Small Businesses

Rethink How to Securely Dispose of Your Records

Businesses of all sizes have sensitive information stored in various formats. Many Federal and State Laws require organizations to securely destroy confidential or personally identifiable information. So yes, there is a need to securely dispose and destroy documents with sensitive information to not only comply with these laws but also to provide operational transparency and efficiency.

Your organization creates documents that contain private and sensitive information. But what happens if that information ends up in the wrong hands? The consequences of a security breach can be devastating. If a breach occurs, here’s what it could mean for your organization:

  • Investigations, audits, fines and sanctions
  • Severe damage to your organization’s reputation
  • Loss of your customer’s trust

However you choose to dispose of your documents, Iron Mountain has a safe and cost-effective way to rid yourself of unused paper-based documents. When it comes to secure shredding, here are your options:

One-Time Shredding

If your business doesn’t routinely create a large volume of paper documents, one-time shredding may be your best option. It’s a cost-effective way to securely and conveniently rid your organization of files once or on an as needed basis.
