Consider the consequences of just one confidential document getting into the wrong hands.  Your competition.  The Media.  An employee with an ax to the grind.  If the document was pulled from the trash, you would be hard pressed to prove that you had taken the best possible measures to protect yourself, your shareholders, your business partners, and your customers.  That you had lived up to your fiduciary obligation.  That you had fully addressed your professional liability.

The reality is that traditional methods of document disposal and destruction leave you wide open to exposure, to the threat of extreme expense and embarrassment.

• Anyone can pull your papers out of a waste basket in your office or the dumpster at your loading dock or service entrance.
• In many environments, disposal is left up to unsupervised staff or temporary help.
• Even in offices with costly dedicated shredder operations, documents are often accessible while they await shredding.
• Curbside, unsightly mobile shredding services expand your exposure, while producing both air and noise pollution outside your office.
• Outsourcing to a conventional carting service or recycling company gives a false sense of security breach most companies encounter.  It leaves you wide open to liability, particularly if your documents are left unattended while awaiting pick up.  Most companies don’t realize that in most cases this is standard procedure.

The possibility that your business can become someone else’s knowledge is all too real.  More than you can afford and down right frightening.
