GDPR requirements and conditions

DESTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS FOR GDPR COMPLIANCE

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the new privacy law, came into effect on 25 May 2018.

Businesses are now required to handle personal data even more carefully, both on paper and digitally. Preparations by businesses, public authorities and institutions focus primarily on protecting digital data. What is often overlooked is that many security incidents result from poorly managed one-off document shredding and everyday paper shredding .

The measures taken by public authorities and businesses to destroy paper are often insufficient. As techniques for reconstructing paper archives improve, ordinary destruction is no longer enough.

This means much stricter requirements must apply to document shredding and paper shreddingto continue meeting GDPR requirements. GDPR and privacy: under the GDPR, personal information on paper must be stored with great care, and the organisation disposing of it must also ensure it is carefully destroyed so it cannot end up in the wrong hands. The only way to obtain 100% certainty that your paper and archives are destroyed in accordance with GDPR requirements is to have them physically destroyed at your premises.
