Tax season reminds us that our homes and offices alike all possess crucial documents that contain personal information. The frightening reality is that if an unwanted individual was to get their hands on your private information they could create havoc within your life.
Knowing that the documents you no longer need to be kept in hard copy form have been thoroughly and carefully destroyed will give you, your family and/or co-workers great confidence. So, why is secure document destruction so important?
1. For Your Home – We all know the amount of confidential documents received over your lifetime, and the endless amount of time spent archiving and filing these documents away safely. However, there does come a time to de-clutter and remove those documents you no longer need to possess – but the personal paper work you wish to remove cannot be simply thrown away.
The possibility of fraudulent individuals going through your trash is high enough to have any person concerned. This is where secure document destruction can take the stress away. Simply separating your unwanted sensitive documents and giving way to companies that focus on this security, like Vail Ranch Self Storage and Postal Center in Temecula, can save you time, money and assist you in feeling relaxed.
2. For Your Business – Identity theft is a multibillion dollar industry in the current day and age; one that any company can easily become mixed up in if proper precautions are not taken when destroying or getting rid of confidential documents. The number of criminal activities involved with stolen important documents is skyrocketing – no matter how big or small your business, you are a potential target.
Companies all over California incur financial losses due to embezzlement and forgery. Imagine the damage it could do to your business – it is always best to not take chances when dealing with confidential information. When it comes time for crucial documents to be thrown away it is imperative that you do so correctly. File or stack your unwanted documents in a secure place, dry, easily accessed place where they can be watched over. A reputable self-storage is great for off-site storage while retaining ultimate security for business documents.
3. Document Destruction – Every company, no matter how big or small, contains a large amount of important documents. It is crucial that your personal and/or business documents are protected from fraudulence of any kind.
A member of a trustworthy company will professionally store and shred your confidential items at a location monitored by video surveillance cameras to ensure safety and confidentiality. All documents should be cross-shredded for maximum security. For those who require it, look also for a company to offer the destruction of electronic and magnetic media that is confidential to your home or business. “Vail Ranch Self Storage and Postal Center guarantees that we will securely assist with your document destruction and shredding, issuing you with a Certificate of Destruction if so desired after completing the job” says owner Gene DiLuigi.
Any home or business is prone to fraudulence and forgery. It is important that you, your family and/or co-workers feel confident about the destruction for your important and sensitive documents. Find a company with security features in place, cross shredding availability, a staff and location that you will feel secure with.
