How to keep your shredding machine in shape!

Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit in spring of 2020, 32% of Canadian employees aged 15 to 69 worked most of their hours from home, compared with only 4% in 2016.

Which option is safer? Which one fits your needs best?

Even though it is not the end of 2021 yet, the number of cyber attacks have already surpassed the amount that occurred in 2020.

The paper shredder has more ties to history than you think!

October 2021 marks the 18th annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month, also known as CSAM.

Cleaning out our working spaces can be a messy process itself.

Why do you need a Certificate of Destruction, and when?

Shredding to protect your data/personal information extends further than just documents and technologies. As a company or service you hold a brand or a standard that you may not want to be repurposed or found in public use.

As we reach Phase 3 of the province’s re-opening plan, many individuals are coming back to the office but also receiving the option to work in a hybrid-model, meaning workdays are split between the home and office. With this change in structure, it’s critical for businesses to assess their security policies and the use of confidential documents at remote locations.

We all are guilty of leaving our desk at the office a little messier than we should and just swiping everything into our top drawer when it gets a little too much. With many of our desks moved to our own homes, unfortunately we can’t escape the mess and we might not even have the space we used to.

Think your electronic files are gone after you clear off your desktop’s recycling bin? Think again. When you delete your old electronic files off and clear your recycle bin, it really isn’t gone forever. That is, it may still live in the hard drive.

There are certain documents that we recommend you to shred and destroy even if they are not outdated: pay stubs, monthly statements, and anything that contains credit card information. Throwing tax documents away carelessly after the recommended 6 years “because they are outdated” could endanger the security and confidentiality of your business. The sensitive data contained in your tax papers may include information that may be used in identity theft.

How do you know that your company’s confidentiality is not compromised with working from home?
