Secure Document Shredding in Dallas
Document Shredding for Secure Data Destruction
Secure document shredding is an essential service that virtually every business requires. Federal regulations such as HIPAA, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act mandate that organizations safeguard certain types of protected information to ensure it is not accessible to those who might misuse it. When a breach occurs and sensitive data falls into the wrong hands, the result is often identity theft or fraud, which costs businesses and individuals billions of dollars each year in monetary and other types of losses.
Any company handling financial or health records must arrange to store it securely and destroy it when appropriate. This includes the destruction of both paper documents and other forms of data storage such as electronic media.
Dallas, Texas Secure Document Shredding
Armstrong Archives offers secure document destruction in Dallas designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. Document shredding is a reliable and cost-effective method to protect sensitive information while complying with all applicable laws. Our shredding services are fast and efficient, with our professional team handling everything from convenient pickup to secure destruction, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
How Our Secure Shredding Works
Secure shredding ensures that confidential documents are completely destroyed by cutting each sheet into tiny, unreconstructable pieces. While some companies choose to handle shredding internally, most prefer professional off-site shredding for increased information security and cost-effectiveness. At Armstrong Archives, we provide professional shredding services at our secure Dallas facility, where all shredding is monitored under video surveillance. After shredding, the paper is safely recycled using environmentally responsible practices. For peace of mind, we offer a certificate of destruction to certify the secure chain of custody.
We also offer secure hard drive destruction and recycling for electronic data storage devices, including:
- Internal computer drives
- Tapes, portable hard drives, USB drives, and disks
Our Dallas hard drive destruction services ensure that sensitive data on outdated devices is securely destroyed, preventing misuse.
Business and Commercial Shredding Services
Most organizations handling sensitive data require professional shredding services, including financial institutions, mortgage companies, CPA firms, title companies, insurance providers, and government entities. Our commercial Dallas shredding service offers a comprehensive solution for off-site document destruction.
Here’s how it works:
- Secure, locked document storage containers are placed at your location.
- Employees add documents for destruction as needed.
- Our driver picks up the shredding bin at regular intervals, replaces it with a new one, and transports the full bin to our warehouse for secure shredding.
For high-volume areas like copy rooms, we offer secure destruction bins. Lower-volume organizations can opt for destruction consoles, which are locked cabinets that store documents for shredding. Our driver will handle the collection and replacement on a regular schedule.
We also offer The Defender, a secure collection container designed for employees working from home. This solution ensures home office documents are securely destroyed, with the same pick-up and drop-off service.
