The Role of Secure Shredding in Identity Theft Prevention

Identity theft is a growing concern for Australian businesses and individuals. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) reported that identity theft was the most common type of scam reported to them in 2020. One of the key ways to protect against identity theft is to properly dispose of sensitive documents that contain personal information. This is where secure shredding comes in.

Secure shredding is the process of destroying paper documents and other materials in a way that makes the information unreadable and unrecoverable. This is particularly important for documents that contain personal information such as names, addresses, and financial information. In Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) regulates the handling of personal information and requires organisations to take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

When it comes to secure shredding, DestroyR Secure Shredding is the only choice for businesses that are looking for a reliable and compliant service.
