That\u2019s because mobile shredding, also known as on-premise shredding, is the ideal solution for companies concerned with \u2018chain of custody\u2019 protocols in regards to sensitive information. This most often pertains to those in the financial or healthcare sector where there are strict guidelines on how identifying information must be destroyed.[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”How long should I keep paper documents before calling for shredding services?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>Identity theft is a very serious and growing problem that shouldn\u2019t be ignored. Unfortunately, with the big focus on internet security, many businesses and individuals have forgotten that thieves also target trashcans in search of financial and identification papers they can exploit. Here are some of the more common documents thieves look for, how long they should be kept on-premise, and when it\u2019s time for shredding services:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bank Statements.<\/strong> Businesses should keep physical copies of bank statements for up to a year. Thanks to the ease of online banking with most financial institutions, private individuals should feel secure in shredding statements as they get them, or whenever they\u2019re ready to make a complete run to the shredders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax Returns.<\/strong> Tax returns should be kept for up to seven years as this accounts for the period in which you are liable for auditing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Credit Card Bills.<\/strong> Businesses and anyone who does contract work should keep credit card bills up to the date when they submit taxes. However, an important caveat is to keep and shred all credit card and loan offers through our professional shredding services. That\u2019s because there are identity thieves who will go through your trash, fill out blank offers, and take advantage of them on your dime. When submitting any credit card payments online, be sure you are dealing with reputable merchants that have \u2018https\u2019 in the web address.<\/p>\n[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”The Disadvantages of Using an Office Shredder” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>All businesses look for ways to save money. However, one place that shouldn\u2019t be overlooked is the benefits of hiring professional shredding services for all of your paper and hard drive destruction needs. While it can be tempting to buy a cheap, in-house office shredder, they are rarely the right tool for the job. Here are some of the disadvantages associated with using a standard office shredder:<\/p>\n<p>Incomplete shredding. An office shredder is capable of cutting your papers into smaller strips, but just how effective is that when those strips can be pieced back together? There have been several disturbing accounts of identity thieves rifling through and taping sensitive documents back together to use information for their own personal gains. In contrast, professional shredding services use the highest-grade shredding technology available on the market and we have a thoroughly vetted process to ensure all documents are completely destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Slow shredding. Most office shredders can only shred one piece of paper at a time. This is a huge waste of man hours that could otherwise be spent furthering your business. In contrast, professional shredding services will bring in mobile shredding equipment that can destroy whole boxes of documents within minutes. In the end, most businesses save time and money by hiring professional shredding services.<\/p>\n[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”What should I consider when looking at outside shredding services?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>Business owners and operating managers have a ton of issues to consider, from HR protocols to maintaining a positive web persona, but one thing that should never be overlooked is maintaining client\/customer confidentiality. Shredding services are a frontline defense in properly destroying sensitive information and keeping it safeguarded from ill-doers.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you should consider when contacting outside shredding services to assist in protecting your business:<\/p>\n<p><strong>On-site vs. Off-site.<\/strong> Some shredding services offer only one or the other, and others offer both on-site and off-site shredding. On-site shredders will bring the equipment to your office to ensure a quick funnel of documents from your office straight into the shredder. For off-site shredders, you\u2019ll have to bring your documents to their site to have them properly disposed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HIPAA Compliant.<\/strong> If your business is healthcare-related or has healthcare-related documents, then there are specialized regulations for how medical documents must be destroyed to ensure strict confidentiality protection. Ask potential shredders if their equipment and process is HIPAA compliant before hiring a shredding service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AAA- Certified by NAID.<\/strong> NAID \u2014 National Association for Information Destruction \u2014 offers a voluntary AAA Certification program that only awards companies with the correct training and qualifications to properly shred confidential documents and protect the privacy of companies, their staff, and their customers.

The destruction of your sensitive electronic information should also be a priority. Here\u2019s a quick look at why it\u2019s important to have shredding services also destroy your old hard drives:<\/p>\n<p>Foolproof way to destroy data: Even if you \u2018delete\u2019 files on your hard drive, there are plenty of free tools readily available to recover those deleted files. This means if your hard drive gets into the wrong hands, and if you have deleted sensitive information, there\u2019s still a chance thieves could recover it. The only 100% guaranteed way to destroy data stored on your hard drives is through physical destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Destroy the equivalence of millions of pages of documents: Did you know that 1 terabyte of hard drive space is estimated to fit 85,899,345 pages of Microsoft Word documents? So whether you\u2019re recycling a computer or are finished with tax season, it\u2019s important to always destroy that information before moving on.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the law to shred: Not only is it in your best interest to destroy data on your hard drive via shredding services, but in many cases it\u2019s against the law not to do so. HIPPA can issue fines of up to $250,000 and ten years in prison for every violation of Patient Health Information privacy rules where sensitive data carelessly gets into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”April 11, 2016″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>From the independent contractor to the multi-national corporation, every business generates and accumulates literally tons of confidential papers and other types of media every month. But what do you do when the piles of papers and hardware start to get overwhelming? You call in the paper shredders.<\/p>\n<p>Shredding sensitive documents will ensure that critical information never gets in the wrong hands. This is so important that there are a variety of federal laws that require businesses to destroy or shred certain documents, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which requires the secure\u00a0storage and destruction of employee health information, and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, which protects your buyers from becoming the victims of identity\u00a0theft.<\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb is to fully destroy any document that includes yours or anyone else\u2019s Social Security number, passport number, credit card number, bank account information, driver\u2019s license number, phone number, and\/or address. Here\u2019s a snapshot of the types of documents that should be destroyed by a shredding service:<\/p>\n<p>Tax forms and any tax related documents<\/p>\n<p>Sensitive employee (and previous employee) documents that include health information, I-9 forms, pay schedule, or time sheets<\/p>\n<p>Expired contracts<\/p>\n<p>Client lists<\/p>\n<p>Credit reports<\/p>\n<p>Monthly bills that contain yours or the business\u2019s full account number<\/p>\n<p>Pre-screened credit card offers and applications along with expired credit cards<\/p>\n<p>Printed emails<\/p>\n<p>Financial documents and statements, including items like returned promissory notes<\/p>\n<p>All documents containing the Social Security numbers of either employees or customers<\/p>\n<p>Invoices<\/p>\n<p>Receipts with signatures<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ever in doubt, get it shredded as it\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”March 25, 2016″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>Published by <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+Houstonshredding\/posts\">Data Shredding Services<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick run through of the types of documents destroyed by shredding services once their time is up:<\/p>\n<p>Bank account statements: Save bank account statements if you\u2019re planning to take a deduction. But otherwise, these can be rounded up and shredded to keep your information safe.<\/p>\n<p>Financial investment statements: Shred monthly and quarterly statements once the new statements arrive. Any yearly investment reports can be kept for tax purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Loan documents: These should be kept in a secured, ideally fire-safe deposit box, until the loan has been paid in full. When the loan is paid and the title or deed is in hand, these documents should be promptly shredded. The same goes for cash advance documents.<\/p>\n<p>Insurance policies: Keep your current insurance information until you have your insurance overage renewed. Once the new documents have arrived, shred the previous insurance files.<\/p>\n<p>Credit card expenses: If you\u2019re like most businesses, then you\u2019ll likely have a company credit card or two. When your credit card statement comes in, keep it for as long as it takes to inspect the charges and then pay what\u2019s owed. If the statement is for a charge that is under warranty, staple it to said warranty and keep it in a secured file. If the statement includes items that you plan on deducting on your next tax cycle, then it should also be saved. In all other scenarios credit card statements and receipts should be promptly shredded.<\/p>\n[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”February 10, 2016″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>Published by <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+Houstonshredding\/posts\">Data Shredding Services<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shredding services aren\u2019t just a luxury, but a requirement for most regular business organizations. A variety of federal laws, perhaps most notably the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction (FACTA), require businesses to destroy or shred documents pertaining to sensitive consumer identity information and employee health information. Documents containing this information simply cannot be thrown out with the daily garbage.<\/p>\n<p>A basic guide for determining which type of documents should be destroyed by a shredding service is to check and see whether that document contains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social Security numbers<\/li>\n<li>Passport numbers<\/li>\n<li>Driver license numbers<\/li>\n<li>Bank Account Numbers<\/li>\n<li>Credit Card numbers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Want a few specifics? The following is a partial list of documents that we (and the government) recommends for shredding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employee health information, recruiting documents, pay schedules, I-9 forms, and time sheets<\/li>\n<li>Tax forms and tax prep documents<\/li>\n<li>Personnel files of former employees<\/li>\n<li>Credit reports<\/li>\n<li>Expired contracts<\/li>\n<li>Paid off and returned promissory notes<\/li>\n<li>Bills and invoices that may contain the business\u2019s or an individual\u2019s full account number<\/li>\n<li>Expired credit cards and any pre-screened credit card offers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The security level desired by a business in destroying documents will generally correlate to three specific styles of paper-cutting patterns available by modern shredders. These three styles or shredding types are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Strip-cuts<\/strong> This type of shredding is generally used for low-security documents and destroys documents by cutting the paper into long, thin strips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cross-cut a.k.a confetti-cut<\/strong> This shredding type provides mid-range security to cut paper into even smaller rectangles of about an eighth inches square. Most small businesses and high-end consumer markets will find this type of shredding service suitable to their needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Micro-cut<\/strong> This provides the highest level of security as documents are nearly obliterated into the smallest of pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”January 25, 2016″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n<p>Published by <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+Houstonshredding\/posts\">Data Shredding Services<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trying to figure out whether shredding services are necessary for the documents you have at hand?

We recommend using shredding services to destroy all documentation of these types:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consumer documents<\/strong><br \/>It doesn\u2019t take much to leave a consumer vulnerable to identity theft and myriad other crimes; even basic personal information can be combined with social engineering to unravel a person\u2019s privacy and ultimately ruin their finances.

When the documents are eventually discarded, they could be intercepted and used by criminals for identity theft, and even if the documents are stored away securely, the information could be exposed through burglaries, disgruntled employees or other security-related incidents. To avoid problems, a thorough document retention and destruction policy should be drafted and dispersed to all employees so that everyone knows what must be kept, what must be destroyed, why each document is kept or destroyed, and how and when the destruction of the documents will take place.
