Document Shredding 101: What You Need To Know
With River City Data’s rigorous employment screening, you can trust your information is in safe hands. We’ve been in this business for 40 years because we’re passionate about what we do: protect information.
There are many reasons it’s essential to choose the right service for storing, handling, and disposing of your company’s sensitive information. There have even been several scams reported by services that claim to protect your information but are behind potential fraud and identity theft.
As a business owner, client, or resident, it is crucial to protect your information. Financial information, health information, social security numbers, and credit card accounts are all pieces of highly sensitive data that your company needs to handle with care.
Reasons to protect this information include:
Legal Responsibility
Your clients need to be able to trust their data management company with their sensitive data. In many states, companies have a legal responsibility to protect their customers and their data.
Identity Theft
It reached an all-time high in 2017, with more than 16 million cases reported. Most of this is linked to paper information. Numbers have since gone down as protecting private information becomes a more significant focus. Join the movement to prevent fraudulent activity by choosing a safe and trusted company to protect your company’s data.
Increased Access
The increasing accessibility of information through the internet, social media, and online shopping and banking make it easy to piece together bits of information collected.
For example, part of a credit card or ATM receipt with a partial account number can be enough for fraud. Even ‘junk mail’ can contain information that is sensitive and could lead to theft or fraud.
Human Resources documents, health insurance documents, and other account information should also be protected. Bank statements, tax information, and bills are all at-risk information.
Even receipts can contain sensitive information.
These risks make a partnership with a trusted service even more critical. Taking steps to ensure safe information handling can secure your company’s productivity and reputation.
Advantages Of Using A Document Shredding Service
Outsourcing your document management needs is both time and cost-effective. It builds trust with employees and clients. It protects your company’s reputation. Effectively protecting sensitive information prevents issues of liability, and saves the time and worry that comes with filing claims and retrieving stolen information.
There are several advantages to hiring a third party to shred your office documents safely. Some of these include-
Security
Using a document shredding service provides an extra layer of secure data management. Trusting an outside source keeps the data anonymous and confidential.

Value
Offices spend more than $100 per month on document shredding. Outsourcing your document shredding saves money and time.
