The Benefits of Implementing a Secure Desk Policy

A Secure Desk Policy requires that employees keep desks free from material that is sensitive in nature, including business documents, notes, post-its, and anything else that’s deemed as private. All PC’s should be powered off and should also be password protected at all times, to prevent hacking or misuse. All removable media, such as CDs, hard-drives, or memory sticks should be removed and kept secure in a lockable cabinet or room. A Secure Desk Policy is ideal for any size and type of business because it sets a welcoming and reputable tone for clients visiting your place of business, and most notably it limits your risk of data breach and information theft; both of which occur more often in cluttered and unsecure work environments.

Initiate The Process

Provide direction to the team in regards to what the policy entails. It’s imperative that executives are adhering to the policy themselves, setting a good example for their employees to do the same.

Policy in Writing

Any and all work policies should be available to access online through your internal business management system, or printed off in an employee handbook.

Use On-Going Reminders

A Clean Desk Policy checklist should include office reminders that reinforce compliance. Put up memos outlining the policy online, and place reminders in busy common areas, such as meeting rooms and the lunch room.

Increase Compliance

Encourage your employees to document information electronically; this is not only a sustainable practice, it also helps to keep your office organized and clean. When feasible, share files instead of printing them, to save on paper.

My first visit could have been rough, but Bob and the crew there made everything so worthwhile. Showed up one day and they had an Internet outage, and we’re closed. But, I left a message, Bob called me back and promised me to make it right. And he did! Went above and beyond to help me get my shredding project done efficiently and at a great cost. I will use them again for sure, and soon! Highly recommended.

Used the drop off. Was brought a bin immediately, filled it and employee took it inside. Brought my receipt and off I went. Green minutes max and very reasonably priced.

I've used this Proshred once a year several years for my company to do our annual purge of old documents. They are great and easy to work with! They brought a truck to our office to shred about 2 dozen boxes of filing at once. At every stage it is quick and painless, and the price is reasonable. I do recommend having your documents in boxes. I plan to keep working with them!

Used ProShred for shredding piles of personal paper and made couple of trips to the location. On both occasions Marcus helped me. His professionalism and pleasant attitude embodied Customer Service. He rolled out the bin, we emptied out the bags, boxes and he would take it in for shredding. Made it all simple and easy.Love the drop off service and would highly recommend them.

Proshred did a great job for me. I asked for service at my home and they sent a truck. Service was very quick. The filled up a container with my papers, rolled it to truck and I was able to watch a camera feed while the machine shred all my papers. Very cool. Darrien was the technician and he was very nice and knew what he was doing. It was nice to work with a Pro like Darrien.

Super impressed with Proshred residential onsite service. It was quick and easy to coordinate. Anngelica Tudor was polite and personable as she scheduled our appointment. Corey the driver was professional, quick and efficient. He called prior to arriving to let us know he was on his way. Overall highly recommend the service. Tops!

Christina Barss

Convenient location. $10 per banker's box full of paper. Price seems fair to me. However, the lady that helped me was rushed and unfriendly and promised to send the destruction certificate once the printer was working again, but didn't. I don't like it when people don't follow through. Have used them twice in a year and I recommend them.

Haney did everything he promised, both in emails and on phone. George showed up on time,( a rarity in Charlotte), with a smile, explained everything he was going to do and allowed us to watch him do the job. Excellent service at a very fair price.

I needed to clear out some old filing and paperwork that would be too much work for a personal shredder, so I called Proshed and the salesperson (Greg) was great and set me up right away. Great service and guidance and I will use them again.

What a great service! They scheduled a two hour window, called the day before to confirm it, called when they were on their way and arrived 10 minutes later. The shredding was quick and easy. The tech they sent was SO nice! Courteous, efficient, helpful and accommodating. In fact he was so great I wrote this to the company, “I just wanted to let you know I was DELIGHTED by the service tech you sent to do my shredding. If there were more people like him in the world it would be a better place. A way way way better place. Please tell him thank you for me, I really enjoyed working with your company and and will recommend you in the future to any one who asks.” So, yeah, I highly recommend Proshred!

We have used Proshred services for more than 10 years. Recently we had a need to purge about 10 years of documents from our offsite storage location. They made the process easy via emails not wasting my time on the phone to get it set up. Made suggestions that would save us time and money. Discounted the extra service without making us ask or check other options to get all the archives shredded. The driver was simply AWESOME. He called to ask if he could arrive early and then assisted us with the process of emptying boxes into their containers to load them into the shred truck. He shredded 18 containers of paper onsite in a very reasonable amount of time without a single complaint or losing his smile. He was professional and polite as everyone I have dealt with from the Company. We can't thank him enough for his help as we worked him very hard that day!

Go to place for residential shredding needs. Get everything ints a single box, because they now charge by box shredded.

Our company has been using ProShred for several years. We have been very pleased. They have great customer service and the guys who come for the pickups are so nice and friendly. We are located in Harrisburg and they still come out to our location. After doing price comparisons, they are very inexpensive with no hidden fees that we experienced with other shredding companies in the area. Great company, highly recommended!
