High Security Paper Shredder Choices for Government and Commercial Use
Did you know that a quality, High-Security Paper Shredder can shred documents into confetti as small as 1mm x 5 mm? That's about 1/25 by 1/5 of an inch size. Measure that on your office ruler and try to draw it on a piece of bond paper.
Example:
It is so infinitesimally small as opposed to the normal strip shredder cut of 1/4 of an inch by eleven inches.
Due to concerns about identity theft, consumer privacy, protection of individuals' health information, and National Security concerns, a myriad of new and amended laws now require government agencies, non-profits, and private firms to take vigorous steps to protect privacy and information. These include HIPAA, FACTA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Right to Privacy Laws, NCS, NSA/CSS and DOD requirements, and a variety of other laws that affect virtually every government agency and business.
The new laws require the proper destruction of information, which must be protected from getting into the wrong hands. This is best accomplished by the use of a high-quality, high-security paper shredder such as one of the three detailed below. All three of these models meet the performance requirements of NSA/CSS Specification 02-01, High Security Cross Cut Paper Shredders.
