1. Choosing the Right Shredder (The Cut Type)

 

The effectiveness of a shredder is determined by how small it cuts the paper.

• Strip-Cut: Cuts paper into long, easy-to-read vertical strips. Not secure enough for confidential documents. Best for general paper waste.

• Cross-Cut (P-4 Security Level): Cuts paper into small, short rectangles. Standard security for general business documents.

• Micro-Cut (P-5 Security Level): Cuts paper into tiny, confetti-like pieces. Required for high-security documents (client financial data, medical records).

• Recommendation: Invest in a Micro-Cut shredder that can handle high volumes (10+ sheets at once) for maximum security and efficiency.

 

2. Shredder Features for Efficiency

 

• Sheet Capacity: Choose a shredder that can handle at least 10–12 sheets at once to save time.

• Run Time: For large offices, look for a continuous-run shredder that can operate for 15–30 minutes or more without overheating.

• Jam Resistance: Look for shredders advertised with jam-proof technology to prevent frustrating delays.

 

3. Physical Security Supplies

 

• Locking Storage: Use locking file cabinets or storage boxes for physical documents that must be kept long-term. This protects against casual access and snooping.

• ID Badge Supplies: For large offices, secure card stock and badge printers are essential for managing access control and visual identification.

Regularly shredding documents that are no longer needed is a simple, effective policy that drastically reduces your vulnerability to data theft.
