How to securely destroy documents in New Zealand
Secure document destruction services shred your paper-based records to prevent security threats and maintain compliance.
What is document destruction?
Document destruction is a process through which your paper-based records are securely destroyed by a reliable information management company like TIMG.
By securely destroying your business documents, you dramatically reduce the risk of security threats which may arise from improperly discarded records.
What are the benefits of document shredding and destruction?
Physical records often need to be stored for long periods of time for reasons of compliance. However, when they come to the end of their retention period, document destruction is the best way to ensure that any information is securely destroyed.
In-house document destruction methods can be time consuming, and consumer-grade paper shredders cannot destroy significant volumes of documents when compared with high-capacity commercial shredders.
Destroying your documents ensures that you can:
- Maintain information security: Improperly discarded documents and records can represent a significant vulnerability, and puts your sensitive business information at risk.
- Save time: Trying to destroy large volumes of documents yourself can be extremely time consuming. A reliable document destruction service will save you time while ensuring security.
- Free up valuable storage space: Paper documents quickly add up and will eventually take up large amounts of space. By digitising documents you can save space and confidently destroy the physical records.
How do I shred and destroy documents?
TIMG provides a range of services for secure document destruction, from onsite secure bins to bulk destruction of documents and records.
This solution is right for you if:
- You have large volumes of paper records that are no longer needed and are taking up valuable space.
- You regularly have need to destroy documents to maintain information security.
- Your organisation is moving toward a digital-first approach, and you have already made a digitisation plan.
- You have tried to manage document destruction in-house but have found it to be an inefficient process.
How does TIMG's service work?
We offer a number of solutions for document destruction:
- Regularly serviced on-site destruction bins: If you frequently have need to destroy documents, we can provide scheduled bins which will be exchanged regularly according to your needs. All bins are securely locked and transported by our police-vetted teams to reinforced facilities.
- One-off destruction bins: If you only have a small amount of paper to be securely destroyed, you can order a 240 litre bin online for a fixed price which includes delivery, collection, and destruction.
- Bulk document destruction: We can collect bulk quantities of paper by the box or the pallet if you require destruction of large volumes of documents.
