THE IMPORTANCE OF DESTROYING DATA AT THE SOURCE
The F.B.I. estimates that U.S. businesses lose tens of billions of dollars every year due to theft of company data. The cost of identity theft is predicted to be $8 billion by 2005. All the electronic security measures in the world are useless if you’re throwing out confidential hard copies and disks by the truckload. Putting your trust in an outside firm to dispose of confidential data is not the answer. By outsourcing your company’s document disposal, you effectively relinquish control of the program.

NEW LAWS MAKE DOCUMENT & DATA DESTRUCTION A KEY
ASPECT OF BUSINESS
Today, proper destruction of information is a necessary business activity. Theft of company records is the
leading source of identity theft and, by law,
the company is responsible for any information
about its employees or clients that leaks out.

• Increasing numbers of federally mandated privacy
  acts, such as HIPAA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, have
  been enacted to ensure that sensitive consumer information is adequately protected.
  
• In addition, a company could forfeit its legal rights to defend company secrets and proprietary
  knowledge if it fails to protect that information
  through improper disposal.
  
• Simply put, failure to shred sensitive
  documents before they leave your control
  puts your entire business in jeopardy.
