Why Shred?

Shredding has evolved tremendously over the past few years given the sensitivity to protection of confidential information. In today’s environment, companies are well aware of the need to shred confidential documents.

To Protect Information

Printed confidential documents are produced daily in every business by most employees from every department; from top management level (budgets, strategic reports) to human resource (payroll information), operations and research & development.

Identify theft and corporate espionage is one of the fastest growing form of fraud and can tarnish the reputation of the firm.

To Comply with Local Regulations

The Banking and Financial Institutions Act, 1989 (BAFIA):
Section 97(1) provides that no director or officer of any licensed institution, whether during his tenure of office or during his employment, or thereafter, shall give, produce, divulge, reveal, publish or otherwise disclose to any person any information or document whatsoever relating to the affairs or account of any customer.

Personal Data Protection Bill (Passed by Parliament in April 2010):
Proposed law sets out nine data protection principles governing the collection, use, disclosure, accuracy, retention, access to and security of personal data, Proposed penalties for violating the law will include punitive fines and imprisonment for a serious offense.

To Protect the Environment

The shredded papers are 100% recycled.

Each tonne of paper saves approximately 14 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 4,000 kilowatts of electricity and 3 cubic yards of landfill space.

Why Change?

Mobile shredding reduces the risk of the disclosure of confidential information. With any risk management issue, there is no room for a reactive approach when the opportunity to proactively reduce risk is readily available.

Growing awareness to the dangers of unsecured shredding and heightened regulations has driven the growth of the mobile shredding industry. Secured mobile shredding is practiced all over the world, from the United States to Europe, and Singapore to Australia, and it has proven to be extremely beneficial from client’s perspective.

Facts and Figures

Fraud and white collar crime have increased considerably over the recent years, and professionals believe this trend is likely to continue. The cost of fraud to businesses is difficult to estimate because not all fraud and abuse is discovered, not all uncovered fraud is reported, and civil or criminal action is not always pursued. However, the statistics we currently have show the astronomical values associated with fraud. The cost of fraud does not stop at a monetary figure with lots of naughts behind it. Its insidious nature seeps into and erodes the core elements that all business is built upon: confidence and trust.

When fraud is detected within a business, there is usually shock and disbelief that a trusted employee who resembles the “person next door” could have done what they are accused of. The initial response is “How could that have happened?” In light of the cost and characteristics of offenders, it is important to develop strategies to prevent or detect business fraud. In order to combat fraud and white collar crime in business, a concerted effort must be exerted by the management of the business, the external auditors, and by all employees of the business.

Everyone must realise that fraud is not a victimless crime. The cost of fraud and theft are shared by all through higher costs and lower corporate profits. A comprehensive strategy for fraud governance is essential if an organisation is to reduce the likelihood and impact of major fraud.
