Unshredded documents leave open the possibility of sensitive information being breached. Until recently, many businesses have held files for longer than they are legally entitled to. These companies need to put processes into place to ensure compliance with the legal retention periods, and importantly, GDPR shredding requirements.

Even businesses with shredding policies in place need to ensure they are complying with GDPR. Standard office shredders will not meet the requirements if documents are not destroyed properly. Companies need to ensure that their paper is shredded into extremely fine pieces to reduce the risk of documents being reassembled. In addition, the waste will have to be securely disposed of.
