Identity protection isn't optional, it's the law. Businesses and individuals doing business are required by local, state, and federal laws to ensure the protection of certain information. Secure, on-site document shredding and recycling is the only way to be absolutely sure you are compliant with these laws.

At the federal level, three important laws require specific safeguards to ensure confidentiality.

    * Gramm Leach Bliley Act, also known as the Financial Modernization Act
       of 1999
   
    * Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

    * The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACTA)

All three laws provide for stiff penalties for any business found to be in violation. Imagine a fine of $125,000 dollars for letting just one social security number, address, or phone number fall into the wrong hands. Now stop imagining it - it's real! And the fine can be that much PER RECORD!
