Identity theft is a frightening reality that continues to target businesses and residents across the United States. One glimpse at the news, and you’ll likely hear about a new reported case of information theft or fraud in our community. While it’s difficult to prevent entirely, we do have the power to reduce our risks to this crime substantially. For starters, if you are a Cambridge business owner, an extensive document shredding program for your company is a must! Protecting your security starts internally and this means ensuring that you have a proper document management program in place. What does one include? First and foremost a safe and professional document storage and shredding company is simply crucial.
Without these important practices in place, how will you know if you are maintaining confidentiality over sensitive business matters? Furthermore, how can you be sure private information surrounding your employees and customers has not been exposed mistakenly? These are the questions that you should ask yourself and should take seriously if you want your business to remain protected from external threats. If you don’t have a document shredding program currently, its probable documents are slipping out the door without your knowledge.
A document management program is only as successful as the effort put into designing it. Our aim is to improve organization levels, limit security threats, and help with employee productivity levels. One approach used by many business managers is a Clean Desk Policy. This policy is basically in place to encourage and remind staff to do their part in keeping their desk free of clutter as well as confidential paperwork that may otherwise be lost or stolen if left out in open sight.
Taking the proper measures to maintain security over your documents is essential at least until the retention period has exceeded and the shredding process can take place. Once paperwork is no longer required for future reference, it should be securely disposed of in a lockable collection bin where it will remain untouched and protected until collected for destruction. When you partner with a document shredding company such as Gator Shredding, your Cambridge business will be provided with these collection containers if a regular shredding schedule is put into place. Keep records safe from prying eyes and have a peace of mind in knowing that your documents are safe.
Gator Shredding goes above and beyond to make sure your records are disposed of securely and in an efficient manner. Our specialized, mobile shred trucks bring 6,000 lbs of document-shredding-power per hour to your location. There is no need to worry about our credentials as we are also proud to share that we are HIPAA compliant and FACTA compliant.

This is where our industry knowledge and expertise come into play; we will work with you to ensure all your needs are met, including the budget you have in mind. We will also go through each service option with you in order to modify the program to exactly what you want. If you have a lot of regular wastepaper, you may see the benefits of our on-going shredding option. If you’re looking to reduce clutter around your office or if you’re moving to a new location, you’re likely to choose a one-time purge for your company, as this is ideal for quick clean-outs. Have documents at home you’re looking to dispose of securely? We also help residents in Cambridge stay protected from risks associated with identity theft through our residential shredding program.
Electronic information should always be secured as well! Hard drives specifically, require professional destruction once they are no longer needed; without the proper destruction in place, data could be accessed should the wrong individual gain access. If you’ve recently carried out computer updates or have completed a major clean of your office, now is the perfect time to gather up any old hard drives kicking around your office. Gator Shredding makes disposal super easy as both your document shredding and hard drive destruction needs can be done at the same time, directly from your office or home. If your Cambridge business is ready to partner with a shredding company for trusted destruction services, we welcome you to contact us for more information.
