At Overs Secure Shredding we specialise in the disposal of confidential and sensitive information through a highly secure process. We offer confidential shredding and secure destruction of sensitive documents as we believe that secure shredding should play a major role in your document management programme.

Sensitive information isn’t just limited to bank statements and business contracts. Printed confidential material is produced on a daily basis in every business, which can range from employee medical records through to planning documents. Any such document landing in the wrong hands could lead to identity theft, which costs the UK economy alone £1.7 billion annually.

No one ever thinks that they will fall victim to fraud but it can happen to anyone if sensitive documents and materials are not handled in the correct manner. This is why secure shredding is vital for the security and privacy of your customers and your employees. If you fail to dispose of such items in a safe and secure manner you are leaving yourself and your company vulnerable to risks of theft, misuse, disclosure and legal discovery; you would also be violating the Data Protection Act.

The Data Protection Act regulates how personal information is used and protects you from the misuse of personal details. The Data Protection Act requires people to dispose of sensitive material and information safely and responsibly. Failure to do so could leave you with a £5,000 fine and a criminal record for the directors of the company.

Overs Secure Shredding can enable you to create a secure, comprehensive and cost effective information disposal solution either off site or on site. We will dispose of all your paper documents as well as other media, including, x-rays, microfiche/film, binders, computer disks, cartridges, videotapes, CDs, and DVDs. Protection of sensitive materials is ensured through strict security practices and certificate of destruction will be awarded to you, which provides you with a legal audit trail.

Other benefits that Overs Secure Shredding offers you includes:

• Compliance expertise: Data Protection Act, Freedom of Information Act, Information Security and FSA regulations
• Assurance to clients and partners that you'll safeguard their information
• Reduced storage requirements and costs with consistent best practices
• A dedicated implementation team to assist you during the solution lifecycle
• Protects you with strict security practices and an unbroken chain-of-custody
• 24/7 access to expert customer support

Before carrying out any secure shredding work, Overs Secure Shredding will advise you on the most suitable shredding service available to you based on your business activities. We can either shred your sensitive material at one of our secure facilities or if you prefer they can be destroyed at your site via one of our mobile shredding units whilst you observe. Our trained team here at Overs Secure Shredding will then destroy your documents beyond practicable reconstruction.
