Why You Should Choose A NAID AAA Certified Shredding Company
All shredding companies are the same, right? They all provide security containers for you to dispose of confidential documents. They all empty the containers on your scheduled day. And all shredding companies shred your documents into small unreadable pieces.
But most people are surprised to learn that a startling 75.8% of New Jersey shredding companies
have refused to submit to a security audit by their industry’s governing body, the National
Association for Information Destruction (NAID).
 75.8% of New Jersey Shredding Companies Fail To Meet Industry
Security Standards
It’s true! Of the 33 shredding companies in New Jersey, only 8 have satisfied the stringent security requirements necessary to achieve a “AAA Certified” rating, by the National Association
for Information Destruction (NAID).
These uncertified shredding companies, whose sole responsibility is to protect the confidentiality of their client’s confidential information, offer…
 NO PROOF that they’ve completed pre-employment background checks and random drug tests of their employees, who every day come in contact with thousands of confidential documents.
NO PROOF of insurance to protect their clients in the event their client’s confidential
information is misused or mishandled.
NO PROOF that they have comprehensive, written security policies or if they do, whether
these policies are consistently followed by their employees. |
NAID is the Watchdog of the Shredding Industry
NAID is a non-profit association dedicated to the advancement, professionalism, and high ethical
standards of the information destruction industry. They act as an independent auditor, checking a
shredding company's compliance in 22 critical areas, including everything from shred size to
employee background checks.
Here are just some of the critical items that NAID verifies during their on-going audits, before they award a AAA Certified rating to a shredding company:
 Pre-employment and random criminal background checks of a shredding company’s
employees
Pre-employment and random drug screening of these same employees
Certified proof that shredded output is unreadable
$2,000,000 general liability insurance
Driver and helpers wear a company uniform, and display picture ID badges
Comprehensive written security policies and procedures
Third party background check on file
All shredding company employees sign a Confidentiality, and Non-Disclosure Agreement
The Importance of NAID AAA Certification
Why is the AAA Certified rating so important? Because it’s the only way for you to verify that a
shredding company has complied with industry security standards. Shredding companies that
refuse to submit to audits from a third party watchdog organization (like NAID) are asking you to trust them to regulate themselves. And that’s simply not good enough.
