Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a paper shredder?
If you regularly handle sensitive documents, owning a paper shredder is nigh-essential. They provide immediate on-site destruction of documents, reducing the risk of leaks. For businesses handling personal data, a shredder is a crucial took for data protection compliance. Even for individuals, shredding documents (e.g. bank statements, medical records, personal letters) instead of just throwing them away can help prevent identity theft.
Where is the safest place to shred documents?
Either at your own premises using a high-security shredder (something like a cross-cut shredder), or through a certified professional shredding service.
Shredding on-site has the advantage of letting you oversee the entire process, and documents are destroyed immediately. Professional shredding services can collect large quantities of documents, and provide a destruction certificate as proof that your documents have been securely destroyed. Alternatively, mobile shredding services – which come to your premises and shred on-site – combine the benefits of professional shredding with the added security of on-site destruction.
What is the proper method to dispose of confidential information?
Shred the documents into small, unreadable pieces. Use a cross-cut or micro-cut shredder, which cut documents into small fragments – these are the most secure. After shredding, the shredded material should be mixed with other paper waste to further obscure the information.
How do you dispose of confidential documents?
Confidential documents should be shredded using a cross-cut or micro-cut shredder. Professional shredding services are recommended for large volumes or higher security needs. Make sure that the service provider is certified and complies with relevant data protection regulations. Post-shredding, the remnants should be recycled in accordance with environmental regulations.
How should you dispose of confidential papers under GDPR?
They should be disposed of in such a manner that the information contained therein is rendered irretrievable. Shredding is the recommended method, using a shredder of at least level P-3 (from the DIN 66399 standard). Businesses must also document their disposal processes, maintaining records of shredding activities to demonstrate compliance with GDPR.
How do you dispose of confidential data?
Digital data should be securely erased using data wiping software, or physical destruction of storage media (e.g. hard drives and CDs). For physical documents, shredding remains the best practice. Combining both digital and physical data destruction methods ensures comprehensive protection against data breaches.
How much does it cost to shred documents in the UK?
Cost of shredding varies based on the volume of documents, the level of security required, and the service provider. Professional shredding services tend to charge between £3 to £25 per box of documents. Some companies offer bulk pricing for large volumes, making things more cost-effective.
Mobile shredding services, where a vehicle comes to your location and shreds documents on-site, typically cost around £100 to £150 per visit. Costs can fluctuate depending on the specific needs and geographic location.
What is the most cost-effective way to shred documents?
For small businesses or individuals with minimal shredding needs, purchasing a small shredder is likely the most cost-effective solution. A basic cross-cut shredder suitable for light use can cost between £30 and £60. For higher security needs or larger volumes, a more robust model may be necessary – costing between £100 and £200.
For businesses with significant shredding needs, outsourcing to a professional shredding service can be more economical in the long run, especially if bulk shredding discounts are available.
