The Importance of Document Shredding

If you’re looking into business storage or records management services at a storage, you may be interested in learning more about the importance of document shredding. Document shredding is a crucial way to prevent the theft of confidential information that can be used for fraudulent purposes, such as identity theft.

For certain businesses, document shredding is necessary under the law. Some businesses retain records that contain confidential information such as addresses, Social Security numbers, personal health information, etc. These businesses are required to permanently and securely destroy these documents when they are no longer needed for the operation of the business.
