confidential waste

Every organisation produces confidential waste. To protect your business, your personnel and ensure the Data Protection Act 1998 is met, commercially sensitive and confidential items must be disposed of securely and have a certificate of destruction issued.

We know that criminals raid waste containers looking for information that they could sell on. This doesn’t relate only to household waste and identity theft. Businesses are vulnerable to fraud too. Even a simple company letterhead has a value because it could be used to impersonate your organisation. This is a more serious look at confidential waste, but there documents and electronic files within a business that are not to be viewed by anyone apart from their intended recipients. To avoid files and documents falling into the wrong hands, this data must be destroyed securely.

In addition, the Data Protection Act 1998, places a legal obligation on organisations to securely dispose of any data which relates to a living individual.
