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.
