Statistics consistently reveal that 40% of all breaches in confidential data is from poorly managed paper documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right: information that customers and colleagues have imparted in good faith, business and industry secrets, intellectual property and sensitive strategy documents; these are all vulnerable to theft if you do not keep them secure throughout their regulated lifespan.

Hidden costs around\u2026 Security<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s easy to damage your reputation and your bottom line if you don\u2019t look after sensitive information correctly. Human error, ignorance or bad actors can lead to data breaches, and fines. We\u2019ve all seen reports on the multi-million-pound financial penalties handed down by the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO). Using an inadequate in-house shredder to destroy GDPR-regulated information is risky: are the shreds small enough and how do you dispose of them afterwards? Using an in-house shredder is unproductive for whoever is delegated the task and ultimately, of course, less secure than using a <\/span>professional shredding service<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n

Hidden costs around\u2026 Compliance<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Linked to security, compliance costs mean you are not meeting your professional obligations to GDPR and the WEEE Directive when it comes to the correct disposal of confidential data, whether on paper, digital media, <\/span>hard drives<\/span><\/a>, and so on. Throwing large, potentially legible, shreds into the paper recycling bin, for example, is not going to satisfy the ICO or your customers. And there\u2019s a good chance you will not fully meet your environmental responsibilities, either.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n

Paper is still a key medium in the workplace and is never just \u2018waste\u2019 because it is one of the ultimate recyclable materials. It can go round up to six or seven times being manufactured into new paper products and then used as pulp when the fibres grow too weak. If you leave your wastepaper to the vagaries of an unsecured waste collection service, how do you guarantee it\u2019s 100% recycled, the information contained on it kept secure, and that it doesn\u2019t become a hidden environmental cost?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
