Data Shredding Services Complies With The Highest Security Standards in the Industry

Online, April 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) has issued an "AAA" rating in recognition of the company's compliance with the highest standards for a secure destruction process that includes operational security, employee hiring and termination, and the obliteration of certain company records that are sensitive, confidential, and/or proprietary in nature.

NAID has clearly mentioned in its website, http://www.naidonline.org, that there is a major difference in being NAID members and being NAID certified. Members simply become part of a professional organization where security experts and business owners alike share the newest technological trends and latest information about the record destruction industry. Members who become NAID certified gains the competitive edge of being a well respected and highly regarded record destruction company, with the reputation of strictly complying with stringent ethical practices needed in the industry of records destruction and paper shredding in general. Most shredding companies opt to become a NAID member to be part of a professional association that will serve as the "industry voice" who will work with legislators by providing and developing information that will help lawmakers pass comprehensive legislative bills concerning the record destruction industry.

In a survey mentioned by the Association for Records Managers and Administrators, top executives from 300 companies ranked the security of company records as one of the top five critical issues facing business. When asked which issues required urgent attention and policy development, the security of company records ranked second only to employee health screening. This is the main rationale why most managers and business owners would opt for NAID certified companies, like Data Shredding Services of Texas, to handle and destruct vital company records which may contain sensitive company memos, drafts of bids or even highly confidential printouts of old contracts or forms. These documents, when viewed from a risk management standpoint, can cause unwanted publicity for the company and maybe even the gradual loss or collapse of the whole business.
