What to SHRED in Philadelphia?
When it comes to determining which documents to shred, narrowing them down can be quite difficult. That’s because, in truth, there a number of documents that could pose a risk if they are not disposed of properly.
Once you allow information to leave your site – in the trash or in the hands of a Philadelphia recycling company – you’ve lost control. You have put yourself and your company at risk. Any kind of record – customer lists, interoffice memos, payroll information, and much more – could be used to compromise your organization’s security.
In fact, under various federal and Pennsylvania privacy laws, if your personal files or other types of records are disclosed to outside parties – even by accident – it could be grounds for a lawsuit.
