Destroyit Standards

Destroyit Business Shredder Are Designed For Companies That Won't Settle For Anything Less Than The World's Best Shredder.

Shredding at the source—the essential security measure
The F.B.I. estimates that U.S. businesses lose tens of billions of dollars every year due to theft of company data. All the electronic security measures in the world are useless if you’re throwing out confidential hard copies and disks by the truckload. Putting your trust in an outside shredding service to dispose of confidential data for you is not the answer. By outsourcing your company’s document disposal, you effectively relinquish control of the program. In addition, the costs associated with shredding services are at astronomical levels and are not going to decrease. The surest and most economical way to protect your company from data or identity theft is to shred sensitive documents in-house, at the source–in the hardened steel cutting shafts of a Destroyit® business shredder.

Proper destruction of information is a necessary business activity
All companies share the same risks. Identity theft is America’s fastest growing crime, affecting millions of people annually in the U.S. alone. Theft of company records is the leading source of identity theft and every company is legally responsible for safeguarding employee or client information. Increasing numbers of federally mandated privacy acts, such as FACTA, HIPAA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley have been enacted to ensure that sensitive consumer information is adequately protected. In addition, a company could forfeit its legal rights to defend company secrets and proprietary knowledge if it fails to protect that information through improper disposal. Simply put, failure to shred sensitive documents before they leave your control puts your entire business in jeopardy.

Look to the leader in Business Shredders—Destroyit
Manufactured in Germany by MBM Corporations parent company, IDEAL Krug & Priester, Destroyit shredders have set the industry standards for over 50 years. Models are available in each security level defined under the DIN 32 757 international standard (super micro-cut models actually exceed the highest level). Cutting shafts are constructed entirely of hardened steel and are covered by a lifetime warranty (super micro-cut shafts are covered for one year). In addition to their innovative, functional design the exclusive “SPS” safety features put them among the safest shredders in the world. A quality management system including all company areas was certified under the DIN EN ISO 9001 standard. All Destroyit models meet the latest standards of Underwriters Laboratories for the US and Canada.

Safety Protection System

Safety Protection System is a combination of innovative design features found on every Destroyit shredder which ensure the highest standards of safety.

Safety First

SPS® features include an electronically controlled safety shield in the feed opening, an electronic switch which stops power to the motor when the cabinet door is opened or when the shred bag is full, automatic reverse and power cut-off in case of a paper jam, and double protection against overheating.

Easy Does It

“Easy Switch” is the intuitive, multi-function control element developed especially for the new generation of Destroyit shredders. The large, illuminated surface indicates the operational status of the shredder with color codes and back-lit symbols. It also provides an added degree of safety by functioning as an emergency stop switch.

HIPAA/FACTA Compliance

HIPAA and FACTA are federally mandated legislative acts intended to protect patients and consumers from identity theft. Destroyit business shredders will make sure you’re protected.

Document Shredding and HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates higher standards of privacy and security for health-related information. Healthcare offices, including private practices, nursing homes, health insurance offices, hospitals and state supported clinics are all subject to HIPAA regulation. In addition, businesses that contract with healthcare offices must adequately safeguard information that is made available to them. Shredding sensitive documents prior to disposal is a key component of HIPAA compliance.

In the rush to be prepared for the first compliance date, many facilities purchased low cost paper shredders and soon found they could not handle the volume of paper to be shredded. In reaction to this, many contracted with outside shredding services. Today, these services are increasingly being called into question due to the high costs involved and whether or not they are truly secure. Unlike medical facilities, shredding services and their employees are not held to federal standards. If patient information is released by a shredding contractor, it is the contracting facility that is liable for damages under HIPAA laws, not the service. More and more compliance officers are finding that a centralized shredding program with high quality, industrial grade shredders is the better policy. The initial equipment cost will be quickly offset by no longer having to pay the high (and always increasing) shredding service fees. And because the information is not leaving the facility, security is increased.

FACTA Law Makes Shredding More Important Than Ever

By now, almost everyone in America is familiar with the term “identity theft.” Most businesses are taking steps to protect themselves from becoming the next victim of America’s fastest growing crime. Shredding documents for disposal has always been a vital step in preventing ID theft, but the introduction of the Disposal Rule section of the FACTA security law makes shredding a necessity for businesses of any size, as well as individuals who employ even one person.

FACTA Disposal Rule Defined

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), was designed to minimize the risk of identity theft and consumer fraud. The Disposal Rule section of FACTA states that any person who possesses consumer or employee information for a business purpose is required to properly dispose of the information. This includes information used to establish eligibility for credit, insurance, or employment. The Disposal Rule was developed to cut down on identity theft by restricting the ability of thieves to “dumpster dive” for consumer information contained in discarded business records. It goes on to say that all employers must take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to information in connection with its disposal. These measures include burning, pulverizing, or shredding of physical documents and erasure or destruction of all electronic media. The main difference between FACTA and other security laws such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley is that it does not affect a single industry—it affects every business in America.

Back to Basics with MBM
