Why It Matters
Why secure document shredding protects you
Identity theft hits millions of Americans every year, and a great deal of it starts in the trash. Dumpster divers harvest unshredded paper from MA and NH businesses every week: tax returns, bank statements and medical bills.
For businesses the stakes are higher. A single HIPAA violation can run from $100 to $50,000 per record. FACTA penalties run $100 to $1,000 per record, and Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00 adds its own exposure. A home shredder gives you no Certificate of Destruction and no audit proof. Our professional shredding service destroys documents to a secure cross-cut standard with a sealed Certificate of Destruction on every job.
