What should be destroyed?
With new legislation becoming ever stricter and identity theft on the rise, it is wise to destroy just about everything that is generated and not on a retention schedule. Some examples are:
Memos, price lists, tax records, receipts, letters, any document with social security numbers, visitor logs, training records, etc.
What should we know about selecting a shredding service?
The most important aspect of any service is to verify that they actually do the destruction. One of the best ways to verify this is to contract a company that is AAA Certified and audited by NAID. There are many companies that just collect the materials and then give them to a recycler or do a variety of other things to cut their costs, which ultimately lowers the security of their service.
