Industry Standards, Ethics, Quality Assurance, Security and Compliance
What does it take to run a successful company? Certainly, industry standards, ethics, quality assurance, security and compliance all play a role. Does choosing your information destruction service provider fall under the same level of scrutiny to manage your company’s risk and reputation? Absolutely.
Managing your company’s risk and reputation starts by choosing the right information destruction company. Whether you are looking for recurring service or one-time service for shredding confidential documents or destroying hard drives, it is necessary to choose carefully. Check the following off your list before you choose your information destruction service:
- USE A NAID AAA CERTIFIED COMPANY
- ASK FOR COMPANY QUALIFICATIONS AND CERTIFICATION
- KNOW IF SHREDDING OR HARD DRIVE DESTRUCTION IS DONE ON-SITE (AT YOUR LOCATION) FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY
- GET A CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION AFTER EACH SERVICE
- MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPANY PROVIDES ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A REGULATORY AUDIT OR AN ALLEGED INFORMATION SECURITY BREACH
What is NAID? The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certifies paper shredding and hard drive destruction operations. NAID is the international trade association for companies providing information destruction services and establishes service standards and requirements for the industry.
Why should a shredding company want NAID AAA Certification? A NAID AAA Certified company knows that it is running a secure and ethical business. It is following the strict guidelines of NAID to ensure the integrity of its operations.
Why should you care about using a shredding company that is NAID AAA Certified? When your business uses a document destruction company, it is required by law to make sure the company has the resources and systems required to protect your information. The NAID AAA Certified company does the necessary due diligence by evaluating and verifying employment history, as well as conducting drug screening, background checks, employee training, access control, special documentation, and other factors required by NAID AAA Certification. A NAID AAA Certified company ensures that your business is compliant with federal regulations (FACTA, GLBA and HIPAA).
