Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our shredding services.
What does the GLBA Safeguards Rule require for document disposal?
The FTC’s GLBA Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) requires financial institutions to implement safeguards for the security of customer information, including proper disposal. The Disposal Rule requires destroying or erasing information so that it cannot practicably be read or reconstructed. Secure cross-cut shredding with a documented certificate satisfies this requirement.
Do you service bank branches across multiple states?
Yes. We service Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Kentucky. Multi-branch financial institutions can be serviced under one account agreement with consolidated reporting. Contact us to discuss a multi-location service structure.
Can you shred on-site at a branch?
Yes. For branches that handle high volumes of sensitive documents or require witnessed destruction, on-site mobile shredding is available. Our truck shreds at your location before leaving — no documents leave the premises until destroyed.
Do you provide shredding for hard drives and digital media from decommissioned computers?
Yes. We offer physical hard drive and digital media destruction as an add-on to any shredding service. This is especially important for financial institutions retiring ATMs, computers, or servers that contain customer account data.
What documentation do banking regulators look for regarding document disposal?
OCC, FDIC, and state banking examiners look for: (1) a written information security/disposal policy, (2) a vendor agreement with your shredder that includes security representations, and (3) records of actual destruction events. Our service contract, security documentation, and Certificates of Destruction satisfy all three requirements.
