Confidential shredding questions answered

Browse all FAQs

Confidential shredding is the secure destruction of sensitive documents to prevent unauthorised access and protect data privacy.
It is not just a best practice, but often a legal requirement. Businesses must comply with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which mandates the protection of personal information. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, including fines based on a percentage of annual turnover or fixed amounts.
This service ensures your sensitive information is securely destroyed, in line with GDPR regulations. This protects your business from data breaches and compliance violations.
We offer a separate confidential shredding service for these documents. Contact our Helpdesk for more information.
The frequency depends on your business size and document volume. Some companies opt for weekly or monthly services, while others prefer quarterly or annual shredding. We can help you determine the best schedule for your needs.
