Confidential shredding keeps documents confidential

Governments and regulators around the world continue to develop legislation to help protect individuals and businesses. But prevention is the best solution. Shred-it's secure document destruction program was developed specifically to deal with the regulatory privacy and confidential shredding requirements in each region where we have a presence. Compliance with these privacy policies isn't just good business practice; it's now the law.

Proven Paper Shredding Standards

We know that keeping your confidential information confidential is your number one concern when it comes to paper shredding. Since 1988, Shred-it has been helping more than 150,000 customers around the world do exactly that. With more than 140 branches on five continents, Shred-it is now the world's leading on site document destruction company.

Unbroken Chain of Custody

The security and privacy of your materials begins the moment they are deposited into your office's Shred-it console. And the chain of custody remains unbroken until your documents are destroyed and your Certificate of Destruction is received.

Locked security consoles keep materials safe from curious janitors or waste management employees when you're not around. At your convenience, a security-screened, insured Shred-it Customer Service Representative (CSR) unlocks the console and carries your materials to a waiting truck outside.

Depending on your preference, your documents can either be shredded on site or taken away and destroyed in the same secure manner at a later time. In either instance you can watch your documents being destroyed either on site or via closed circuit camera at an appointed time.

For whichever method you choose, a Certificate of Destruction is issued that confirms the exact time of the destruction of your confidential materials.
