• NAID’s certification program was designed by information security professionals and is recognized by thousands of private and governmental organizations all over the world.
• All regional, third party NAID auditors have received the Certified Protection Professional accreditation from ASIS International, and are thoroughly trained on all certification audit processes and requirements.
• NAID certification auditors confirm that certain protocols are present to ensure the security of confidential content throughout all stages of the shredding process such as handling, transporting, storing documents prior to shredding, and destroying and disposing of materials responsibly. This also refers to any transfer of custody scenarios.
• An elaborate, three-level background screening process confirms that no individual with a known history of related crimes will be looking after confidential content.
• A regimented, comprehensive unannounced audit program means that certified organizations operate knowing there is a chance they could receive an unannounced audit on any given day, at any hour, providing a significant motivator for ensuring ongoing compliance.
• The Certification Review Board records reports of non-compliance and takes remedial action immediately, to bring certified organizations back into compliance. Repeat or serious infractions will lead to fines and could even result in elimination of certification.
