Secure Confidential Information With Our Shredding Services
Businesses generate large amounts of documents every day, many of which have confidential business information, sensitive consumer information, or protected health information. To ensure none of this falls into the wrong hands, it’s essential to have solid document destruction protocols and a traceable, verifiable method to destroy or shred sensitive materials.
At Patriot Shredding, we’re a leading document shredding company in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the Washington, DC area. We offer on-site commercial shredding services and secure shredding at our facility in Rockville, MD, with a schedule that meets your facility’s needs. We destroy all documents, hard drives, and electronic media and provide a certificate of destruction to verify your documents have been disposed of properly.
Our company is NAID AAA certified to ensure a secure chain of custody, and we comply with all state, federal, and industry-specific laws pertaining to the protection of confidential information and document destruction. Our services meet the standards outlined in the following laws and regulations:
- HIPAA: Prevents unauthorized disclosure of protected health information (PHI).
- HITECH: Ensures consumer notification if a breach of unsecured PHI occurs.
- FACTA: Ensures personally identifiable information (PII) in credit transactions is protected with proper document destruction.
- GLBA: Requires banks to develop privacy notices and allow consumers to opt out of third-party sharing of PII.
- Sarbanes–Oxley Act: Requires that companies create a comprehensive data security strategy to protect financial information.
