Security Measures: Multiple Layers of Protection
24/7 CCTV Surveillance
Our facility is monitored by high-definition CCTV cameras that record all activity. This ensures complete accountability and provides evidence of secure handling.
Access Control
Only authorized personnel have access to our shredding areas. All staff are thoroughly vetted and trained in security protocols.

The Document Destruction Process: Step by Step
Step 1: Document Arrival and Registration
When documents arrive at our facility, they're immediately logged into our secure tracking system. Each batch is assigned a unique reference number, and we record the date, time, and customer details. This creates an audit trail that's essential for compliance.
Step 2: Weighing and Documentation
All materials are weighed and documented before processing. This ensures accurate pricing and provides a record of the volume of material destroyed. Our digital scales are calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy.
Step 3: Secure Processing Area
Documents are moved to our secure processing area, which is monitored by CCTV cameras. This area is restricted to authorized personnel only, and all activity is recorded for security purposes.
Step 4: Industrial-Grade Shredding
Our industrial shredders use cross-cut technology to reduce documents to tiny particles that are impossible to reconstruct. These machines can handle large volumes of material efficiently while maintaining security standards.
Step 5: Certificate of Destruction
Once destruction is complete, we generate a Certificate of Destruction that includes the date, time, reference number, and weight of material destroyed. This certificate is emailed to the customer within 24 hours.
