Never break the chain of custody

Security, processes and trust are key components in building a fully functional chain of custody for your confidential data.

Having full trust in your data shredding supplier is a must in this era of increased data protection consciousness. For some businesses, a shredding truck and some CCTV cameras might appear to be enough. To build a gap-free chain of custody that eliminates all the risks of information falling into the wrong hands, even at the end of its life, here at Restore Datashred, we believe it means including the following:

 

· Building a deep working relationship with our customers so that we find out what it takes to please you and how we can tailor our services to your specific needs

· Sharing information about our processes and taking time to understand yours

· Ensuring Datashred employees are knowledgeable, passionate and well trained

· Taking into account elements such as time, location, neighbours, weight of traffic, the environment and quirks specific to your site – and building them into our collection schedules

· Maintaining a top-of-the-range fleet of vehicles for collections and on-site shredding operations

· Supplying security-conscious storage bins and cabinets for your confidential waste while it is still on site

· Working to internationally recognised security and management standards that should reassure you that all stages of collection, shredding and recycling are safe from unauthorised interference.

Building an unbroken chain of custody also means giving you the choice of where your shredding is carried out.

On-site services: if you have the space at your place, these offer you an immediate solution with an enhanced level of security. You can watch the contents of your lockable bins being tipped directly on to the blades of the shredder in one of our state-of-the-art mobile shredding vehicles. There’s no gap in custody – the audit trail ends with a certificate of destruction – and you can see for yourself that no one unauthorised can get their hands on your confidential material.

Off-site services: are built to scale and are a cost effective solutions for large or regular collections. All collections are made by uniformed operatives in tracked vehicles and are transported to your local destruction centre for same-day shredding. Once again, there’s no gap in custody and there’s a certificate of destruction promptly provided to complete the audit trail and give peace of mind.

As well as shredding, don't forget we can securely store your documents offsite too. Click to see our offsite document storage solutions.
