Certificate of Destruction

If you are familiar with the paper shredding industry, it is likely that you know the term COD, or Certificate of Destruction. Do you fully understand its significance when it comes to the protection of your business?

The number of instances of identity theft continues to increase, so it is more important now than it has ever been before, for your business to implement a securedocument destruction programto protect the personal information of your employees and customers.

Allowing another company to handle your sensitive material is not an easy decision, and probably one that isn’t made without questions and concerns. For example:

1. How do you know that knowledgeable and well trained staff will be shredding your materials?
2. What will happen if a document is missed?
3. How can you be guaranteed that each document will be completely destroyed?

These are all perfectly reasonable questions to ask when considering using a document shredding company.

There are many companies out there who claim that their shredding processes are secure, but do they provide any proof that guarantees this?
