Security Solutions for GDPR Compliance
GDPR has made crucial changes to the way in which you store and access your files. With shorter timescales for subject access requests, stricter requirements for storing data and harsher punishments for data breaches, it's vital that you know exactly where each and every record you hold is stored to ensure compliance and enable fast, secure retrieval.
With loss and theft of paperwork, insecure file storage and improper disposal and data sent to the wrong recipient recorded by the ICO as some of the biggest data breach risks, it's clear that the secure storage, access and destruction of documents are key areas to confront.
Shredall SDS Group is fully compliant with the GDPR standard, and we want to ensure that our customers are too. We recommend that businesses review their existing information management processes, including how their sensitive information is stored and disposed of.
What will your business need to do?
We recommend that businesses, review the way their sensitive information is destroyed after use. Robust policies will need to be put into place and many businesses may find that outsourcing these measures will be secure and cost-effective solution. However, it is understandable that some businesses would prefer to have their shredding completed on site for added reassurance.
Nevertheless, the GDPR regulation requires proof that all confidential documents are destroyed, which the average office shredder doesn't provide. For GDPR compliance, a Certificate of Destruction will document essential shredding information to ensure secure disposal of sensitive data.
Our professional shredding services conform to the strict standards of BS EN 15713 Secure Destruction of Confidential Material, which means that we dispose of confidential waste in a secure, controlled manner and that our process is regulated by continual external audits to minimise risk.
