Secure Shredding Services for the Finance Sector

There’s no doubt that money is a sensitive subject. That’s why, when your customers choose to bank with you or consults the expertise of your financial advisers; they place their whole trust in your organisation’s ability to keep every meeting, transaction and withdrawal behind a firewall of confidentiality. They don’t want anyone else knowing intimate details of their financial affairs.

Help protect your financial data, minimise risk and enhance your reputation by investing in a secure shredding service.

We are here to help.

In the era of GDPR and heightened corporate social responsibility, secure paper shredding services play a major role in helping you dispose of your legally sensitive information at the end of its statutory shelf life, in the most responsible and sustainable ways possible. Using the range of flexible services of a professional data shredding business like Restore Datashred is a big step towards achieving compliance and meeting your social and environmental responsibilities.

What are the challenges?

While most transactions are electronic, financial institutions still generate a mass of paper statements, receipts, cheques, payment records and data stored on digital media that must be handled correctly and, in many instances, archived for set periods of time.

Many of us will have seen headlines about paper records simply thrown away in recycling bins or into skips – a thought that should make any Records or Information Manager shudder – and the financial sector is not immune. According to the Identity Theft Resource Centre (ITRC), the financial sector recorded 5.8% of all 2017’s data breaches (to 30 June 2017) – up 2% on the first half of 2016.
