What is a Certificate of Destruction?
All Connecticut businesses are required to shred their private company documents. One small mistake leading to a leak in information can cause a world of consequences that can decide the fate of your company. So how can you be sure that your information is never seen again?
If you need to destroy your documents, you have many different options, and you can choose whichever one best suits your particular business needs. Whether you prefer the convenience of on site shredding, or you need the power of an industrial shredder at a secure New Haven off site facility, it’s important that you are confident that your documents are being properly and thoroughly destroyed.
One benefit of on site shredding it that it gives you the ability to see your documents or devices being shredded at your New Haven location, right in front of you. This adds an extra level of security in comparison to other services, but visual confirmation of the destruction of your documents is still not sufficient.
To ensure your confidential information is properly destroyed, you should have the company performing your services provide you with a Certificate of Destruction to protect you in any possible legal situations.
