Secure Destruction of Personal Information for Businesses

Shredding machine

It is now illegal to dispose of personal information without reasonable measures to destroy documentation. Shares Shredding provides secure shredding of confidential and sensitive documents and materials, including stationary, three ring binders, film, audio & video tapes, diskettes and much more. Materials such as staples will not require extraction before disposal in the security containers.

Sensitive materials may include:

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 requires specific physical safeguards, such as shredding, to meet FACTA compliance. HIPAA is the transfering of personal information from one medical facility to another. It is extremely important that all obsolete patient files are destroyed.

Medical Records

All medical records fall under the HIPAA and must meet FACTA compliance. This means all patient filies must be securely stored or the documents must be destroyed. If personal financial records are kept at the medical facility, they must follow the provisions set forth by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

Financial Records

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, also known as the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, has provisions to protect the consumers' personal financial information held by financial institutions, including those companies that receive customer information from financial institutions. The act requires specific physical safeguards, such as shredding, be in place, to protect this personal information.
