Document Shredding

Fellowes Powershred

Workplace identity theft isn’t caused by paper documents because we have gone paperless, right? Rubbish. Paper rubbish, in fact.

You and I both know that we use as much paper as ever. We sign up for electronic statements and then print and file them, along with important emails, financial documents, etc. Paper documents are more plentiful than ever, and they pose a significant risk of workplace identity theft and data breach.

According to a recent study* conducted by the Alliance for Secure Business Information (ASBI):

80% of large organizations surveyed indicated that they had experienced one or more data breaches over the previous 12 months. 49% of those breaches involved the loss or theft of paper documents. The average breach recovery cost $6.75 Million!
