SHREDDERS
Protect your business by
shredding in-house
Neopost says that the smarter, more
secure way to dispose of sensitive
information is by destroying it
in-house with a professional data
shredder.
They say that an outsourced data
destruction service is an expensive
ongoing monthly cost as opposed to
investment in in-house data destruction
as a one off capital payment. And, not all
third-party data destruction companies
are sufficiently scrupulous in complying
with regulations; there could be chain of
custody issues, transportation challenges
or problems with certification and
reporting of data destruction itself.
By taking data destruction in-house,
organisations know exactly where
sensitive material is located at all times,
how and when it is destroyed and
also how it is ultimately recycled or
disposed of.
Plus, in-house data destruction
can help an organisation to reduce its
carbon footprint – because the material
is destroyed onsite, there is no need for
trucks or transportation and shredded
data can be disposed of in line with
already established recycling processes.
In conjunction with intimus, Neopost
is offering businesses a great opportunity
to find out for free just how safely their
organisation disposes of information. Visit

on a simple four-step process that
covers risk level assessment, vulnerability
analysis, implementation and ongoing
protection.
Hassle-free document destruction
Recent research by Fellowes shows
that employees are becoming far too
complacent with the security of personal
information. The study found that more
than half (52%) are failing to take
basic precautions such as consistently
shredding paper documents with
private or personal information before
discarding.
Fellowes, too, is an advocate of onsite
shredding. They say a key benefit is that
it removes the need to store documents
prior to shredding, as having a shredder
located next to or near your desk allows
immediate document disposal and
instant peace of mind.
Renowned for being robust and
feature-rich, key features across the
range include Jam Blocker technology,
which prevents overfeeding, powers
through misfeeds and maximises
productivity; SafeSense technology
that automatically stops the shredding
process when hands come into contact
with the paper entry; and energy-
efficient operation that saves electricity
Identity crime affects 1.8 million people
and the impact on the UK economy is
estimated to be £2.7 billion per annum.
Every time sensitive material is removed
from a company’s premises there is the
risk that some of it could be misplaced,
lost or even stolen.
both in and out of use.
The newest addition to the Fellowes
range is the AutoMax 300C and 500C,
the company’s first truly walk away line
of shredders. Featuring its proprietary
SureFeed Technology, the AutoMax series
removes the need to waste time sorting,
straightening or filtering papers and junk
mail. Fellowes says it offers users hassle-
free document destruction – simply load
the drawer, push the button and walk
away.
There’s a shredder selector and
shredder showcase on
that is designed to walk users through
the details of each Fellowes shredder,
helping to determine which model is best
suited to individual needs.
Improved security levels
HSM is another to have refreshed
its shredder line-up. Available from
January 2014, the range includes the
entry level Shredstar S5 and S10,
capable of shredding five and ten
sheets respectively. The cutting width
on both models now meets Level P-2
