Businesses simply cannot afford to ignore how they protect consumer information, which is safeguarded under various federal accountability and privacy laws enacted within the last fifteen years. Not properly disposing of protected information can expose the organization to threats from the outside and open it up to getting sued or coming under investigation by government authorities for fraud or legislative noncompliance.

Confidential Document Shredding Solutions

Medical, dental, financial, educational and corporate entities are all required to maintain a certain level of legislative compliance for document destruction under federal laws.

Here are some ways that PROShred Miami can benefit your organization with confidential paper shredding:

Medical

All patient records that are verbal, printed, and written contain health information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). Medical companies can use confidential paper shredding to destroy documents containing personal health information such as:

  • Items about a patient’s past, present, and future health conditions
  • Their current delivery of health care
  • Payments for past, present, and future health care

 

Financial

Companies must destroy consumer checks under Check 21 and destroy all personal information related to consumer reports under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act.

Corporate

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, U.S. corporations must demonstrate how they are protecting consumer data and preventing accounting fraud by maintaining a policy for records and information administration. Also known as SOX compliance, this is closely tied to shredding of consumer-related information.

Educational

Any organization delivering educational services, including schools, colleges, and universities, must ensure the confidentiality of student records for students of all ages. Students’ educational records are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
