Secure Destruction

Shredding sensitive information is easy, inexpensive, and smart. Plano Data will shred any volume of information, either at our records storage center or at your site through our mobile shredding partner. This includes paper records, files, computer tapes and hard drives. A certificate of destruction will be supplied upon completion so you have confidence that your information has been securely destroyed.

Businesses use shredding services for protection of their confidential information and to mitigate fraud. Shredding prevents the ID theft of employees and customers, corporate espionage, and is required by many federal and state laws. Shredding is not only common sense, but necessary to prevent damaging theft against your business.

Laws and their penalties are growing due to the growth of identity theft and the problems it brings. Depending on your industry, if your organization is not using a shredding service, chances are you’re directly violating at least one of these laws.

Two of the most high profile laws are HIPAA and Gramm Leach Bliley. These laws require businesses to protect health and financial information and are well-known for their penalties and enforcement.
