All our secure collection operatives are regularly trained and updated in driving skills and security procedures so that they meet the standards laid down in BS5878, and every employee is security checked.

Operating centre secure entry protocols

Twenty-four-hour monitored CCTV cameras and password entry only, as well as security-checked employees, means your sensitive information stays safe as it enters our shredding depot.

Digital audit trail

From collection to shredder blade, an unbroken chain of custody is pivotal for your peace of mind. Our digital audit trail confirms each step of your confidential data’s journey with us.

Certificate of destruction

After every completed transaction with us, we issue you with an electronic certificate of destruction as proof of compliance, thus closing the chain of custody and audit trail.
