One of the first things that you need to know when shopping for a document shredding service is would you prefer On-site or Off-site shredding.
The answer is NO! On-site destruction is far more secure than off-site!
Off-site destruction increases risk and liability by removing it from your control while you are still liable for the information security. Whereas with on-site shredding, your sensitive files are shredded before leaving your location.
Most shredding companies want you to choose off-site because it is easier to collect and shred with lower equipment costs. Because of that, often times they will lower your bill by a couple of dollars a month.
What they don’t tell you is that once your sensitive information reaches their location it may sit up to a month waiting for them to put it through the shredder. (After being sorted for recycling purposes)
Once the shredding process finally begins, someone being paid minimum wage sorts through your papers to separate out the clean whites from the colored or low quality paper. They do this so they can be reimbursed from recyclers for having high grade paper for recycling.
In this scenario, not only does your sensitive information remain available for theft or viewing, but it is guaranteed that it will be handled multiple times by multiple people including the collection truck driver, the sorters, and everyone else who has access to the facilities. While we like to be trusting of people, it just doesn’t make sense to allow your sensitive information to be open to that kind of access if you are paying for secure destruction. Someone’s lack of having been convicted of a felony is no guarantee of future honesty!
An offsite service truck may make 25-30 service stops per day. If you employ offsite services, your confidential documents are compromised each time new documents are placed into the back of the offsite truck.
When the off-site shredding collection truck travels from stop to stop your documents are exposed to possible accidents and road hazards which could leave your sensitive documents blowing in the wind.
