When making your decision, use the following checklist when looking for a document shredding provider:

• Has an excellent reputation and can provide references
• Understands laws, especially as they pertain to your industry
• Employs personnel that have undergone rigorous training and a background check
• Offers a FREE security risk assessment
• Provides secure, locked containers for documents prior to destruction
• Shreds all documents in a secure area where the document handler is the only one with access
• Gives you the option of watching the document destruction and provides a Certificate of Destruction
• Uses cross-cut shredders and can accommodate other media types such as CDs and disks
• Recycles all shredded documents

By following this checklist when you research potential document destruction providers, you will be able to make an informed choice about whom to use… and who may be a cut-rate provider that’s not really providing you a secure solution.
