  • Most identity theft occurs by an employee or someone you know.
  • Just because you own a shredder doesn’t make you and your company safe. The shredded materials from an office shredder can be put back together with relative ease and just shows dumpster divers what to take.
  • Destroying company and personal documents protects your company’s image, finances and privacy.
  • Employees shouldn’t be burdened with the time-consuming and high-responsibilty task of shredding valuable office documents. Besides, some shredders can’t handle certain materials or the volumes necessary.
  • Shredding internally shows no record of compliance and due diligence.
  • Shredding not only properly destroys confidential materials, but is also helpful to the environment by recycling paper.

HIPAA

  • Most identity theft occurs by an employee or someone you know. By destroying paper records you decrease the chance of those documents falling into the wrong hands, or being picked out of the trash. Shred it all…individually identifiable health information, financial information, Social Security Numbers or Taxpayer ID’s, driver license, passport numbers, checking account numbers, savings account numbers, debit card/credit card numbers, PIN’s, company confidential information, patents, trade secrets, etc.
  • Destroying company and personal documents protects your company’s image, finances and privacy. This includes electronic documents. With computers replacing paper documents the protection is still needed. Hard drives and computer disk need to be destroyed in the same fashion as paper documents.
  • Off- Spec Products. Protect your company by destroying all proprietary materials that may contain a logo or other information that you would not want to get into a competitors hands or a secondary market. Shred South has assisted companies by shredding items such as jackets, uniforms and even tents that could have fallen into the wrong hands had they not been destroyed.

LEGISLATION
IT’S THE LAW
HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act:  A federal law enacted to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information.  HIPAA lists shredding as a specific example of how to protect patient confidentiality.  In February of 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) made an amendment to HIPAA which is know as HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health).  Fully effective in February 2010, it significantly increased data protection liabilities for all health-related organizations.

Grahamm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999

This law dictates that each financial institution must protect customers’ non-public information by establishing safeguards to “insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information.

FACTA: The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, June 2005

Requires virtually all businesses to destroy documents with consumer information prior to disposal.  Acceptable methods of disposal include shredding, burning or pulverizing.  It is no longer legal to simply throw consumer information in the trash.  Enforced in  December of 2010,  FACTA was updated with the Red Flag Rule which is  an anti-fraud regulation, requiring creditors and financial institutions with covered accounts to execute mechanisms to identify, detect, and respond to the warning signs, or ‘red flags,’ that could signify identity theft.

The Identity Theft Protection Act of 2005, December 2005

This North Carolina law mandates all businesses possessing personal information of a NC resident must take measures to protect that information even after its disposal.  Measures cited in the law include shredding of papers beyond reconstruction.  The law also requires the implementation and monitoring of written document protection and destruction policies.
