Theft, vandalism, and industrial espionage
are becoming ever-increasing security problems. We've all
heard the horror stories resulting from confidential information
getting into the wrong hands. Today's information explosion
can be devastating to your business. With the increased use
of office copiers and computers, staggering amounts of sensitive
information is being generated and carelessly discarded.
Outdated or inactive company files can also become damaging
once they have reached their legal limit of retention. Shredding
this information protects you and your company against potential
lawsuits.
The Supreme Court has ruled that information in your trash
is "fair game" to anyone. Privacy laws make you
vulnerable to law suits when personal records are disclosed
to outsiders - even by accident! The 1974 Federal Privacy
Act was established to ensure that government agencies protect
the privacy of individuals and businesses with regard to information
held by them and to hold these agencies liable if any information
is released without authorization.
Dun's review estimates that corporate espionage costs US businesses
over $7 billion in losses yearly. It's believed that one in
four American adults have been defrauded in various identify
theft schemes.
Your trash, your credit card, phones card, even your junk
mail may be the source of a financial and personal catastrophe.
It's an unimaginable nightmare for most people, and a nefarious
windfall for the growing ranks of corporate scavengers and
identity thieves currently farming America's trash.
Don't put your business at risk.
You might shred every day, once a week, once a month, quarterly,
or once a year. Liberty Shred will meet your needs.
