Routine Shredding Services in Greater Philadelphia & South Jersey

What are the Benefits of Routine Shredding Services?

There are many good reasons to schedule shred services, such as:

Data Security

Routine shredding helps organizations stay compliant and secure by complying with various legal and regulatory requirements. These requirements include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

When sensitive documents are securely shredded, the risk of identity theft and data breaches is significantly reduced. This may help your operation in terms of regulatory compliance or compliance with privacy protection, such as HIPAA compliance.

Environmental Impact

Routine shredding services can reduce waste that ends up in landfills because the shredded paper is typically recycled. This not only helps conserve natural resources but also supports the recycling industry. If your organization has a "go green" initiative, routine shredding services can contribute to your commitment.

Improve Operational Efficiency

From an operational standpoint, secure drop-off shredding offers significant efficiency benefits. Manual shredding is time-consuming and often impractical, especially for large volumes of documents. Routine shredding services streamline this process, allowing employees to focus on their core tasks. You can also free up office space that would otherwise be used for storing outdated or unnecessary documents.

What to Look For When Choosing a Shredding Service Provider

Not all shredding services are created equally. Evaluate these criteria when booking your shred service to ensure that you and your organization are protected and secure:

• Credentials and Certification: Verify their credentials and certifications. Look for providers certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), which ensures that they adhere to strict standards for secure document destruction.
• Reputation and Reviews: Check customer reviews and testimonials to gauge the quality of their services. Positive feedback from clients like you provides valuable insights into the shredding company's reliability and performance.
• Service Flexibility: Can you reschedule if you need to? What if you need a one-time purge shred service in addition to your regular scheduled sessions? Whether you require weekly pickups or bi-monthly services, the provider should be able to accommodate your schedule. If you're anticipating business growth, then make sure that the shredding service can scale its services as your business grows or your needs change.
• Pricing: Does this fit your budget? Are there hidden fees? Good shredding services are transparent about their pricing and can explain the cost structure so that you know exactly where your documents are going.
• Monitoring and Compliance: To ensure that you're fulfilling your organization's responsibility for properly disposing of sensitive information, you may wish to schedule regular compliance checks to ensure that the shredding process is consistently followed. This is so you can verify that all sensitive documents are being disposed of correctly and that the shredding service provider is meeting the agreed-upon standards.
