Protect Your Data with a Paper Shredder

Invest in a shredder for data protection. While laptops are a common risk factor, neglecting to securely dispose of printed documents containing confidential information can also lead to data breaches. Keep in mind, privacy regulations govern both electronic and paper data. Safeguard your organization from fines and legal issues arising from non-compliance by managing personal data with care.

How to Choose a Paper Shredder

Determine where the shredder will be located, office or home, and estimate the number of users. This assists in identifying the appropriate security level required. Additionally, evaluate the necessary features to ensure efficient and effective data protection.

Understand Shredder Security Levels

Shredders are rated by security levels P-1 to P-7 based on the size of shredded paper particles. They are categorized into strip cut (P-1, P-2), cross cut (P-3, P-4), and micro cut (P-5 to P-7), with higher levels offering finer cuts and increased security. For safely disposing of sensitive documents, a minimum of a P-3 level shredder is recommended. Cross cut and micro cut shredders provide better security by creating smaller particles, making reassembly of shredded documents more challenging.

Auto verses Manual Feed Shredders

Choose between manual-feed shredders for small batch shredding or auto-feed models for larger volumes. Auto-feed shredders let you load a tray or compartment with a batch of papers, shredding them without further assistance, saving you time. Opt for an auto-feed shredder with a security PIN lock feature for added safety, allowing you to step away even during large shredding tasks. Manual shredders, while requiring more hands-on operation, work well for smaller, more manageable jobs.
