Everything we do, from coming out to your location, collecting your paper for shredding, and then processing them through our giant mobile shredders so the matter is destroyed is done with HIPAA Compliance in mind.
In order to maintain HIPAA compliance with shredding, the documents, hard drives, and items you want to be shredded have to be destroyed to the point where they are unreadable and impossible to reconstruct. So yes, that means we’re turning into tiny fragments of bits and pieces far beyond anything you’d ever be able to achieve ripping them or using a tabletop shredder.
When it comes to personal health information contained on paper documents, the only way to truly protect patient privacy is by, “shredding, burning, pulping, or pulverizing the records so that the PHI is unreadable or indecipherable and cannot be reconstructed,” according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
We are so confident in our ability to help you get rid of waste safely and appropriately we also provide you with a certificate of destruction at the end so you have a proof for your records that it’s been handled.
It’s 2022, it’s time to stop worrying about data security and start focusing on your core business needs. Leave the rest to us! Call to schedule a shredding service today!
