Sensitive waste must remain in safe hands

Confidential waste

Reliable destruction

The 2018 introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) may have made data security a mainstream concern, but the secure handling of confidential waste and sensitive products has been one of UNTHA’s priorities for the last 40 years.

Speak to us about confidential waste shredding

Legislation governs the compliant processing of everything from private documents and electronic files/hard drives, through to bank notes, DVDs, counterfeit goods and even uniforms. Each of these material streams – and more – must be securely destroyed to prevent a breach, as the financial and reputational risks associated with non-compliance are huge.

Protecting What Matters Most

Why shred confidential waste?

Confidential waste shredding is one of the most fool-proof ways to ensure the secure destruction of potentially sensitive information or goods.

Unused branded products could end up on the black market, personal data could be used to impersonate someone in a cybercrime hack, and emergency service uniforms could be used in a terrorist attack. The list of examples goes on and the potential consequences are often catastrophic.

The fines associated with a data breach are rising with every passing decade, but the reputational damage could be even more devastating to the business concerned.

Processing confidential waste in this manner increases the chance that the resulting materials can be reused or recycled without risk of non-compliance – this protects the environment as well as data security standards.
