What to Shred
Knowing what to shred is vital
Often sensitive information is simply thrown in the bin by employees who do not realise their importance. Invoices, company reports, payroll information, customer lists and even complaints are all confidential, and therefore need to be securely destroyed.
Protecting the security and privacy of your printed materials is our number one priority. In line with the Data Protection Act, every business needs to keep its confidential information, and that of its customers and employees, secure.
Document protection remains a key component of all privacy legislation and compliance standards in Ireland. As such, it’s not just good business practice to keep your confidential materials protected – it’s the law.
For every one of our customers, we tailor a secure shredding service to suit their specific needs. Whether you are a multi-national corporation or a small home-based enterprise, we understand the different types of confidential waste that you produce, and our Sales Consultants can advise you which materials need to be securely destroyed.
