Why Choose A NAID
AAA Certified Shredding Company?
FACT: 73.6% of
California Shredding Companies Fail To Meet Industry Security Standards
Why
You Should Choose A NAID AAA
Certified Shredding Company
It’s true!
Of the 125 shredding companies operating in California, only 33 have
satisfied the stringent security requirements necessary to achieve a
“AAA Certified” rating, by the National Association for Information
Destruction (NAID).
NAID is the
Watchdog of the Shredding Industry
NAID is a non-profit
association dedicated to the advancement, professionalism, and high
ethical standards of the information destruction industry. They act as
an independent auditor, checking a shredding company's compliance in
22 critical areas, including everything from shred size to employee
background checks.
Here are
just a few of the critical items that NAID verifies during their
on-going audits:
- Pre-employment and random criminal
background checks on all employees
- Pre-employment and random drug
screening for all employees
- Certified proof that shredded
output is unreadable
- $2,000,000 general liability
insurance
- Driver and helpers wear a company
uniform, and display picture ID badges
- Comprehensive written security
policies and procedures
- Owners and officers have a third
party background check on file
- All employees sign a
Confidentiality, and Non-Disclosure Agreement
The Importance of NAID AAA Certification
Why is the AAA Certified rating so important? Because it’s the only way
for you to verify that a shredding company has complied with industry
security standards. Shredding companies that refuse to submit to audits
from a third party watchdog organization (like NAID) are asking you to
trust them to regulate themselves. And that’s simply not good enough.
| Warning!
Some shredding
companies will claim to be AAA Certified, just to get your business.
Because they know that most people won’t bother to check up on them. Be
sure to visit their website and look for the AAA NAID Certification
logo. It’s the only way to determine if the shredding company you
choose is providing the highest level of document security. |
