Most of us get calls, texts and emails from random strangers or companies. Surprisingly, some of them have some private information about us that we should be wary about. For example, recently I got a call from someone who knew I had just applied for a credit card from a local bank. He even quoted my new credit card number, and wanted me to reveal more private information. Makes me wonder how they got all this information. Could it be from the bank's documents containing my information that were not protected properly? Things like this sadly happens, and that is one of the many reasons why the recent Data Protection Act came into force in Malaysia. One SIMPLE way Malaysian companies can do to limit information 'leakages' is simple, that is to SHRED!
Companies often just sell their papers for recycling, and this includes confidential documents. Companies fail to realise the importance of proper document destruction and the risks involved in failing to do so. Recyclers have no fiduciary responsibility to ensure the security of the papers in their custody and control. Basically companies are left with just 2 options; destroy those confidential documents themselves or outsource it. Now, employees would not want to waste hours of their productive time just to do shredding, which is why the popular and most efficient move is to hire a 'specialist' in shredding.
And that is why MyShred Mobile is here. We shred in 10 minutes what a typical office shredder can shred in 3 hours!! Our process is secure, from locked bins in your office, until its shredded to pieces. And if you really care about the environment, we recycle! Or if you are really paranoid about the security of your document, we can let you have the shredded pieces back.
Time to move on and change our habits....we need you to encourage companies to destruct documents responsibly.
