Security
Having a comprehensive and integrated information security program in place has never been more vital. According to statistics from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity theft is the fastest growing non-violent crime in the United States. In contrast to popular belief, statistical studies suggest that almost 75% of information theft occurs through the traditional paper stream rather than by electronic means. Activities such as dumpster-diving remain the most common methods of personal identity theft and corporate espionage.
Legislation For Protecting Confidential Information
Identity theft not only affects the personal privacy of Americans, it also affects all businesses, whether large or small, that retain personal information and trade secrets. Recently enacted privacy legislation has put the onus on organizations to ensure they are carrying out due diligence in protecting against unauthorized access to confidential information. The legislation is strict and hands out harsh civil and criminal penalties to companies that fail to destroy confidential information prior to disposal.
Vulnerability Of Security Breaches
It is impossible for businesses not to collect or possess confidential information. Meanwhile, competition is fierce, and corporate thieves are taking bolder steps to acquire proprietary information about their competition through corporate espionage. Corporations are vulnerable to data breaches now more than ever and need to take preventative action to ensure that all sensitive information in their possession is handled securely and professionally.

What Are People Saying About Proshred®
Today, Tuesday, 1/10/23, at 2:00 PM, I went to Pro Shred located in Elmsford to drop off two bags of papers. I was not aware that they did not accept cash or Apple Pay.
I am a first time customer, so I did not know the payment method. Met with Lamont, who explained they did not accept cash, however, he did look into the Apple Pay. This is when I met with Steven, who, like Lamont, spoke in a friendly and professional manner. Steven explained an alternative way, which I’d gladly accepted. Overall, the friendly and professional service I received from Steven in Lamont was exceptional. Thank you very much!
I was very pleased to know that they were NOT Dallas Cowboy fans!
Go Giants!

When contract a job I am very specific about wanting to be charged what I am quoted. Usually I can't even get past the quoting when other companies start saying they will do it by box and then start talking about bin size on the phone. Pro Shed and Tara who quoted the job, did not play any games with me. They quoted a box price and then honored the box price. Not only was Tara grear, but when the guys showed up to do the shredding, they were professional, friendly, confident, and hard-working. Everything went as planned straight through the payment. I would refer anyone to this company at any time, because I feel comfortable that they did a good job for me and would do a good job forgrade,
I needed a little more shredding done, a very small job, just a little residual from the big job at a later date, and they are handling that great as well. I spoke to the manager today about them coming out on Monday for the residual and told him how pleased I was with the service. Unfortunately I can't remember his name but he was so professional as well and I'm so glad that I deal with this company. Don't use anyone else use a class act. ProShred gets 5 starts in all categories.
I have limited need for shredding services--every year or two, I need to shred some old credit card slips and bank statements and such. It is always very easy to load 8-10 boxes of stuff in the back of my station wagon, drive it over to ProShred and then unload it into a bin, pay the fee and I'm on my way. Easy peasy. The staff is aways friendly and cheerful; they will do my shredding for the foreseeable future.
