Shredall SDS Group is proud to announce the successful completion of its latest compliance audits, reaffirming its commitment to the highest standards in information security, quality management, environmental responsibility and health & safety.
As a trusted provider of confidential waste management and information services, compliance remains at the core of our operations—ensuring our customers’ sensitive data is handled securely, responsibly and in line with all regulatory requirements, including UK GDPR.
A Proven Commitment to Industry Standards

ISO 27001 – Information Security Management will undergo re-audit in autumn this year, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security.
Why Our Compliance Matters in a Changing Landscape
Achieving this result is especially significant amid ongoing regulatory developments affecting organisations across the UK.
Navigating New UK Data and Recycling Regulations
With updates introduced through the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, now in force throughout 2026, businesses are required to strengthen their approach to data governance, accountability and transparency — building on the foundations of UK GDPR.
At the same time, environmental legislation such as the Simpler Recycling regulations continues to reshape how organisations manage and dispose of waste. In addition, the waste industry is preparing for the introduction of Digital Waste Tracking, expected later in the year, which will further transform how waste is monitored and reported across the UK.
Our successful audit outcome reflects Shredall SDS Group’s proactive approach to staying ahead of these changes while maintaining operational excellence.
How We Ensure Our Customers Remain Compliant
For our customers, these certifications provide reassurance that their information is managed and destroyed in line with the highest industry standards and GDPR requirements.
Shredall SDS Group also operates in accordance with BS EN 15713:2023, the recognised British Standard for the secure destruction of confidential material, further strengthening our commitment to best practice in data destruction.
By working with Shredall SDS Group, organisations benefit from:
-
