Its time for a Spring Clean.

Its time for a Spring Clean.

Confidential Waste Disposal

At some point, organisations have to dispose of confidential data. The disposal part of the process is one of the most critical and dangerous since it is when information can fall into the wrong hands.

British courts have already fined organisations for violating the Data Protection Act, and it’s something that could happen to you if you fail to follow the correct disposal policy.

The law states that organisations should destroy physical and electronic data repositories in a particular way. Confidential waste disposal, the law says, is vital for ensuring that data do not fall into the wrong hands.

Send Your Waste To A Professional Waste Disposal Company
At Secure Shredding we know that The Data Protection Act states documents containing confidential information should be shredded to a particle size smaller than 320 mm2. Shredding to this size makes it much harder for malicious actors to reconstruct the document and use it for fraud.

Shredding large volumes of documents is difficult for many companies, which is why many use a specialised confidential waste disposal company like ourselves. Waste disposal companies follow their own set of regulations to ensure that they dispose of sensitive documents and destroy information before it can fall into the wrong hands.

This time of year private and business customers are looking to tidy up their workspace and do a little spring cleaning of their confidential waste. It is always best to not let confidential waste build up but to regularly organise its disposal. Stay Organised, Stay Connected with Secure Shredding.
