Whether your business has 1, 2, 50, 100, or more employees, or anything in between, all small businesses generate confidential paper waste that is required by law to be securely destroyed. That means whether you have a small law or medical practice, a real estate business, grocery store, handyman services, CPA practice, or any other type of small business, you WILL accumulate confidential information from your customers which must be handled securely. The penalties for not securing documents with private information are severe for all Columbus businesses, in terms of both the cost and your reputation.
Certification by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) Is A Must!
It is critical to trust the file shredding of your Columbus, Ohio business documents to a NAID certified shredding provider. Hiring a NAID certified local shredding business is the first and most important step in the process of deciding how best to handle your confidential files.
Certification by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) – means that whether the guaranteed paper shredding is done off-site or on-site, your file shredding will meet the highest industry standards and all national and state legal requirements for proper paper destruction. Your business will also receive a Certificate of Destruction verifying everything was securely destroyed for your records.
Hiring a locally owned, NAID Certified, shredding company like Royal Document Destruction takes all the liability away from your Columbus business and puts it in the hands of the shredding experts. NAID shredding specialists have been audited and certified by the shred industry’s governing third party that all their paper destruction services, and business standards meet or exceed all national and statewide industry, legal and HIPAA regulations.
Hiring A NAID Certified Off-Site Paper Shredding Specialist for Your Small Business
“Off-site shredding” simply means that the documents you produce are transported by a secure truck to a locked shred facility with video surveillance and other critical requirements, then securely destroyed at that location using state-of-the art shred equipment within a very small timeframe.
Off-site shredding is the best, most cost-effective solution for most businesses, no matter the size. Rather than utilize an office shredder, and hope employees collect their documents securely, and then require various employees to handle the actual paper shredding when there is a free moment, a locally owned professional paper shredding company will:
- Place a locking security cabinet(s) at your office for secure paper collection.
- Send a professional driver out to your location on an agreed-to schedule, pick up the documents, and transport them back to a local secure shredding facility for immediate destruction.
- Eliminate the liability for your business or employees with documents sitting around various offices unguarded.
- Off-site shredding service is professional, guaranteed, and very cost-effective. Your small business receives a Certificate of Destruction, which verifies shredding was complete.
On-Site Document Destruction for Your Small Business
For those small or medium sized businesses who require shredding to be completed on the premises, on-site shredding is also available. Simply hire a full-service, locally owned shredding expert like Royal Document Destruction which provides both off-site and on-site shredding.
A NAID certified on-site shredding company will:
- Send a mobile shred truck to your business at a scheduled time.
- A background checked driver comes inside to collect the documents.
- The driver walks the container(s) to the mobile shredding truck, where the documents will be loaded into the shred truck and destroyed immediately.
- At Royal Document Destruction, those documents are shredded on our mobile truck, then taken back to our secure Columbus, Ohio facility where all of the paper waste goes through two more complete shreds before being baled up! This means that mobile paper shredding with Royal Document Destruction includes three complete shreds for all paper waste collected.
- On-site shredding is more expensive but may provide the extreme security of your small business desires, as no files leave your property without first being securely destroyed.
- Certificates of Destruction are also provided for on-site shredding.
