14 Dec Secure Document Shredding: Purge Shredding
The security of your business and customers is always a top priority. Especially when highly sensitive information is being stored in documents. Once these documents have served their purpose and the need for them no longer exists, they will begin to pile up, creating a security risk. When this occurs, a purge shredding service can help.
Purge shredding is a one-time event for shredding documents in bulk. Trucks equipped with industrial shredders come to any location to shred on-site or take them back to a secure facility. Because they can handle thousands of pounds per hour, massive purge shredding projects become a 5-minute process.
