WHY SHRED?
	In the last five years, 90 percent of all companies prosecuted under the Data Protection Act were found guilty.
	Dunn's Review estimates that corporate espionage costs U.S. businesses over seven billion in losses annually.
	The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that an average of 34,000 property crimes, including the theft of confidential material, occurs every day.
	Information thefts are caught only 2 percent of the time and cost businesses an average of $800,000 per instance.
	Governments and Regulators are now enforcing document security more than ever before.
	Dumpster Diving has become "Investigative Journalism 101". With all of the privacy compliance laws, it's the first place reporters look when they are trying to grab a quick headline (and possibly ruin your public image). Chances are your company does not have a security guard watching your dumpsters. iSHRED will work with you to develop a program that will ensure your company's documents are disposed of in a secure manner.

	IT'S THE LAW Discarding documents which have not been shredded can violate the following laws and regulations (see chart):
		HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
		GLBA - Gramm Leach Bliley Act
		Privacy Act
		EEA - Economic Espionage Act
		UTSA - Uniform Trade Secrets Act
		ID Theft Laws
		FACTA - Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act

INCIDENTAL RECORDS Incidental records can comprise as much as 60% of the waste generated in an office environment. These records are often discarded without any acknowledgement of their creation, or any policy regarding their proper retention and disposal. With iSHRED locking consoles and security containers, we can develop a secure solution tailored to your company's needs.
