Buying a Paper Shredder
Document theft is a vexing reality both to individuals as well as companies. Yet many companies, even in this day and age, simply relegate sensitive information to the dustbin and let it lie forgotten till some unscrupulous elements get their hands on it. Dangerous? You bet. Identity theft gets the offender up to four years of rigorous imprisonment in the US, true, but it doesn’t seem to deter other offenders from stealing information that is not rightfully theirs for the taking anyway. So what do you do with documents you no longer require but cannot afford to let fall in the wrong hands? Why, shred it of course. It is the safest bet, believe me. Whatever sensitive information you possess in the shape of documents, floppy discs, CDs etc is best destroyed, rather shredded, at the site of your business itself. A word of warning: do not outsource the shredding activity as this could render your business vulnerable to the criminally inclined.
Government Laws Vis-à-vis Protection
Thanks to identity theft becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing crimes, the US Government has come up with provisions in the law insisting on privacy. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (1996) have the Privacy Rule, for instance, to ensure confidentiality. Similarly, the Gramm-Leach Bliley: The Financial Modernization Act of 1999 is designed to protect the privacy of information of the customers of the various financial institutions in the US. Small wonder that paper shredders are now commonly visible in offices. And it is not only the government or established institutions that are using them. They appear like essential appendages next to the office desk of an executive, inside the computer room, the mail room et al. For the still uninitiated, there is a grim reminder: you stand to lose your legal rights regarding confidential, proprietary information should you fail to protect (read shred) sensitive information.
