WHY SHRED?
Identity Theft
- Every company possesses information that requires destruction.
Businesses have an "implied contract" to protect the
sensitive information they gather routinely in the course of
everyday operations. Employees and customers have the legal
right to have this information protected. Without the proper
safeguards in place, this information ends up in the dumpster
where it is readily and legally available to anyone.
The Law
There are several laws and regulations that exist requiring businesses
to destroy rather than simply discard information:
- California Law AB2246, effective January 2001, mandates that
all businesses must destroy or arrange for destruction of customers'
information.
- Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), effective
June 2005, requires that "any person who maintains or otherwise
possesses consumer information for a business purpose"
must properly destroy beyond recognition rather than discard
such information.
- Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA) for health care facilities, providers and plans. Identifies
protected health information and sets rules for the security
and privacy of this information.
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, places significant restrictions
on the use of customer information by those in the financial
industry (insurance, banks, securities, mortgage, escrow, etc).
Such financial institutions must disclose their privacy policies
to their customers.
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In many respects security underpins
the requirements.
