Identity theft is one of the fastest growing white-collar crime in the world today. Disposing confidential and sensitive documents containing personal information in the trash puts you at risk for identity theft. While a number of new security and safety reforms for disposal of records, paper documents & media has grown exponentially, a single instance of unauthorized access to information could lead to significant consequences from loss of brand or revenue to the loss of market share and more importantly customer trust. A negative PR alone can be a high risk resulting to diverse effect in time, money and future earnings.
One of the most important steps you can take to guard against industrial espionage, and corporate identity theft is to dispose of confidential records and valuable artefacts safely and securely when you no longer need them.
Documents including business plans, financial records, technical plans and more could all be enormously valuable in the wrong hands.
