Surfing around on the net I found a great article about protecting your small business from identity theft.  It looks like this article was written several years ago, but the information contained in it is timeless.

A big part of protecting your clients and employees from identity theft is to immediately shred any documents with personally identifiable information that you don’t need to keep for your files.

Sierra Shred can provide you with secure containers to keep sensitive documents in while they are waiting to be shredded.  We will then stop by on a regular basis and shred everything that’s in the container.

Give us a call at 469-252-1125 for more information or visit our web site at www.sierrashred.com

While doing a bit of online research on paper shredding, I found the site of a Houston paper shredding company that includes a page about, not only the benefits of on-site paper shredding, but some of the actual requirements as outlined by The State of Texas and a very comprehensive list of documents and how long you should keep them.

Check out what this Houston Paper Shredding Company has to say about the benefits of on-site paper shredding.

That’s where Sierra Shred comes in.  We can help with one-time purge shredding services as well as ongoing monthly shredding.  If you don’t have a plan in place to securely destroy sensitive information, then call us today at 469-252-1125 to discuss your options.

Prevent identity theft…protect your business…shred everything!

Identity theft is a serious threat to businesses and consumers. According to an estimate from the Federal Trade Commission, as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Nearly 70% of identity theft crimes are the result of information stolen from a single mishandled document. If this happens at your business, the resulting fines and loss of good will can be devastating.

The Texas Attorney General has actively investigated and taken legal action against various businesses and organizations across the state in an effort to protect consumers from identity thieves, specifically citing the Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act which sets fines between $2,000 and $50,000 for each violation.

Don’t think this applies to your business?  Think again!

With increased litigation and concern over identity theft, your business must develop and implement strict record management practices to protect proprietary and customer information from identity thieves.

Document shredding and recycling programs help companies keep information from the wrong hands. The most secure and convenient method is on-site shredding.  With on-site paper shredding service, your paper is shredded in a mobile document destruction vehicle at your location and then delivered to a recycling plant.
