Protect Your Clients

If you are one of the businesses that stores information on paper you need to take action to protect your clients. It does not have to cost the earth nor your budget to protect your clients from the massive consequences of document theft.  

You may possess information about your clients that is confidential, and if passed through the wrong hands, it could damage their reputation and expose their trade secrets. Therefore, it is your sole responsibility as the records manager to destroy these documents for them since you are entrusted with information that they deem to be very confidential. Many clients know that you are supposed to protect all their confidential information through secured destruction.

MyShred Mobile would like to wish all Muslims 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA' and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL MALAYSIAN! We will be closed on 17th November 2010 (Wednesday). We will resume for business on the 18th November 2010 (Thursday).

Do You Think Your Personal Information Is Safe? Think again....

An article from Malay Mail - 25 October 2010 - Personal Data For Sale

Most Common Ways To Commit Identity Theft or Fraud

Many people do not realise how easily criminals can obtain our personal data without having to break into our homes. In public places, for example, criminals may be watching you from a nearby location as you punch in your telephone calling card number or credit card number  or listen in on your conversation if you give your credit-card number over the telephone to a hotel or airline company.

Even the area near your home or office may not be secure. Some criminals engage in "dumpster diving"  going through your trash bin -- to obtain copies of your cheques, credit card or bank statements, or other records that typically bear your name, address, and even your telephone number. These types of records make it easier for criminals to get control over accounts in your name and assume your identity.

In recent years, the Internet has become an attractive place for criminals to obtain identifying data, such as passwords or even banking information. In their haste to explore the exciting features of the Internet, many people respond to "spam"  unsolicited E-mail  that promises them some benefit but requests identifying data, without realising that in many cases, the data obtained is used for other purpose. In some cases, criminals reportedly have used computer technology to obtain large amounts of personal data.

With enough identifying information about an individual, a criminal can take over that individual's identity to conduct a wide range of crimes: for example, false applications for loans and credit cards, fraudulent withdrawals from bank accounts, or obtaining other goods or privileges which the criminal might be denied if he were to use his real name. If the criminal takes steps to ensure that bills for the falsely obtained credit cards, or bank statements showing the unauthorized withdrawals, are sent to an address other than the victim's, the victim may not become aware of what is happening until the criminal has already inflicted substantial damage on the victim's assets, credit, and reputation.

What type of shredder do I need?

There are many different types of shredders. Consider these factors when deciding what kind of shredder best fits your needs:

• What will you be shredding? Paper, Computer Disks, Plastic Cards?
  Paper comes in many different forms. Some paper is thicker or thinner, glossy or coarse. Some shredders can handle plastics and other can’t. Be sure your shredder can handle whatever you will be shredding.
• How sensitive is the material that will be shred? How confidential is this information?
  Some shredders cut paper into long strips that could be pieced back together. Other shredders turn the paper into unrecognizable confetti. The more important the document the more it needs to be shred into very small pieces.
• How frequently will you be using the shredder? Hourly, Daily, Monthly, etc?
  Some paper shredders are designed for low volume use, where other heavy-duty shredders can be used continuously. Purchasing a shredder that cannot handle the volume of shredding can be very frustrating.
• Do you need one large shredder, or many shredders?
  Some offices can use one large shredder for all their shredding needs, where other offices may need several smaller shredders to be placed strategically throughout the office.
• How many sheets will you shred at a time? Is your shredding load light or heavy?
  Smaller shredders can only handle a few sheets of paper, where larger shredders can grate many sheets of paper at a time. Strip cut shredders can always shred more paper at a time than a cross cut shredder.
• Do you need a stationary or a portable shredder?
  Shredders can be very large and heavy. If you need a mobile shredder to take from one office to another consider a lighter shredder or one with mobile casters. If space is an issue, consider a thinner shredder that can fit into a tight space.
• What size of paper do you need to shred?
  Some shredders are designed to shred small letters, where other shredders can shred newspapers and phone books. Take into consideration what you will need to shred now and in the future.

ADVANTAGES OF MOBILE SHREDDING

1) Mobile shredding is cheaper compared to in-house shredding as it does not require you to purchase costly shredding equipment. There are also no costs for maintenance of the equipment. Since in mobile shredding you do not have to purchase your own shredding equipment, there is no need to hire or assign staff members to do the paper shredding and instead, your workforce can effectively focus on other important business activities.

2) Mobile shredding is the most convenient paper shredding method to use. The onboard shredding machines are powerful that they can shred not just paper but also staples, cardboard folders, and other kinds of office stationery whereas in-house shredders cannot. The onboard shredding machines can shred at a faster rate than those office shredders. In mobile shredding, the waste products of the shedding process are kept onboard the truck, which will deliver it to recycling stations. But if the paper shredding is done in-house, it sure will be untidy and the shredded paper bins will also consume office space.

3) Third, mobile shredding is the most secure method for paper shredding. Unlike in-house shredding, entry-level, part-time, and unauthorized employees can have access to those confidential documents. With mobile shredding, these documents can be safely stored in locked bins out of their reach. Document security experts suggest that organisations using off-site shredding services face increased risk and liability by severing the chain-of-custody when disposing of confidential information. When private information is taken off- site for destruction, confidential materials may be handled by multiple parties out of sight of the source organisation, thus leaving that organisation vulnerable to error and fraud that may result in irreversible damage.Furthermore, you also will not have to worry about the person who will do the shredding. This is due to the fact that in mobile shredding, all of your confidential documents are eradicated right there and then inside the lorry, which can be parked within your place, by a uniformed employee of the mobile shredding company.


With all these advantages of mobile shredding over other paper shredding methods, it is the logical choice for you to use mobile shredding service like MYSHRED MOBILE !
