Implement a Shred-All Policy

Consider implementing a Shred-All policy, which entails shredding everything, all the time, in the same manner. This type of policy almost entirely eliminates the chance for a potentially devastating security breach. Employees no longer have to determine whether a particular document contains confidential information or not. All employees have to know is whether the document should be retained for records or whether its usefulness has expired and it should be placed in the secure shredding container.

Implementing a Shred-All policy is simple and only requires a few key steps:

  • Make sure there are shred bins placed at convenient locations throughout the office. Have clear instructions posted as to who to contact if bins are full and need to be serviced ahead of schedule.
  • Make sure that all employees understand the importance of securely destroying documents. Make employees aware that there are laws, regulations, and company policies that can all be satisfied with a “Shred-All” policy. Train employees never to second guess what a document contains or risk disposing of a confidential document in the trash or recycling bin by mistake.
  • Make sure clear guidelines are posted to inform employees what types of materials can be placed in a shred container and what cannot. Batteries, DVDs, and CDs are materials that cannot be placed into a shredding container.
