Our high security on-site shredding services comply with BS EN15713 Secure Destruction of Confidential Waste.
This is the standard specified by the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) and covers security levels, vetting of employees (BS 7858), customers contracts and recycling. An appropriate person from your company will witness the destruction of the confidential material, and we’ll issue a certificate of destruction – showing the weight and details of the collection straight after.
It is essential to partner with a high-security shredding service provider when data security is of the utmost importance. Shredall SDS Group offers services that exceed industry standards, including MOD-approved collection vehicles, maximum-security facility destruction using advanced cross-cut shredding technology, and security-vetted teams acting with absolute discretion and professionalism at all times.
Our Secure Shredding Process
We arrange an ad-hoc collection or a schedule for regular collections. Our fully trained operatives confidentially transfer the waste to our high-security MOD-approved shredding vehicles, then weigh it.
If you opt for on-site shredding, the destruction process is witnessed by an appropriate person from your company and carried out by our security-vetted operatives. If you opt for off-site shredding, the confidential waste is transported to one of our state-of-the-art depots and is shredded within 24 hours.
We issue a certificate of destruction showing the weight and details of the collection. This is a minimum requirement for anyone disposing of confidential waste.
The shredded waste is then compacted into the rear compartment of the vehicle, locked and transported to our shredding depot in Glasgow or Nottingham, where it will be baled and collected for recycling.
All carried out as per BS EN 15713 or equivalent.
Our Vehicles & Security
Designed and manufactured by Shred-Tech, our 18-tonne MDX and MDS mobile shredding machines are the most advanced vehicles of their kind globally. The shredders are mounted on our purpose built MDX-1 lorries, which are considered to be the most secure vehicles in the world and are approved by both CPNI and the Ministry of Defence. They’re fast, efficient and calibrated to shred approximately 3000kg of paper per hour, in accordance with the relevant European Standard.
In ultra-high security mode, the machine meets the requirements of EN15713 security level 3, suitable for most sensitive or confidential information and produces cross-cut strips of 16mm. In ultra-high security mode, the machines meet the requirements of EN15713 security level 6, suitable for confidential and top secret data that, if disclosed, could have severe consequences. The cross-cut reduces paper to 2mm stripes or pieces with a maximum surface area of 320mm2.
