Is your home shredder secure?
Home shredders are getting more use now than ever. Since Covid hit we are home shredding more and more. Many offices are opening up but many businesses are still closed. Home shredding is now a big deal. Home shredding can lead to a data breach if you are not careful. We as homeowners or business owners want to keep that shredding confidential at all times. Here are a few reasons that your home shredder could be a possible breach of data in the making.
Where does your shredded paper go after you shred it?
Most of us are putting all that home shredded paper in a bag and into a recycling container for curb side pickup or drop off at your local recycling center. You may not be aware but the vast majority of recycling centers here in Texas will not recycle shredded paper or shred documents. The thick shredded paper will clog up the ill-equipped shredding machines at the recycling center and can potentially start machine or electrical fires. All of that effort that you put into shredding paper could be in vain because ultimately it will end up in a landfill. If you want your shredded paper to go to a recycling center just go to your search bar and type home shredding service or shredding service near me and boom: Click on Embassy Records Management and Storage. 100% of or shredded recycled office paper goes to a shredding recycling center.
Some folks like to burn their shredded paper. This can backfire and cause wildfires if not burned with proper oversight. Shredding paper is great for the environment. Burning shred paper is not good for the environment and can take hours and involve lots of clean up.
Home shredding continuous shred strips are a major security risk.
Did you know there are hundreds of software applications that can piece you home shredding material together and reorganize it back to it’s original form. Embassy Records Management can cross cut shred you home shredding with thousands of other customer documents to ease your security data breach concerns. Dumpster diving at homes or businesses is a real threat. It is happening more that ever since the pandemic hit. It is estimated that 8-11% of all Americans will have their identities stolen this year due to lack of data controls by individuals or residences. It simply is not worth the risk. ERMS makes sense for you to hire a local NAID certified home shredding service.
