Attention Hospitals and Clinics! Do you have sensitive Medical Documents that could fall into the wrong hands?

• In 1996 the federal government passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) so that businesses have safeguards in place. If these rules are not followed you could face a hefty fine.

Does your computer hard drive hold Sensitive Information?

• In 1984 the federal government passed the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) regulating how businesses deal with sensitive data. Information that has been deleted from your hard drive can still be accessed using special software. The hard drive’s platters have to be destroyed to make the data on it unreadable in order for your data to be securely destroyed.

Attention banks, credit unions, financial institutions, and small businesses! Do you have sensitive Financial Documents that need to be destroyed?

• The federal government passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) to set up restrictions and guidelines in place that govern how financial institutions dispose of and handle their data.

Did you know that you are regulated on how long you retain records and when you are allowed to destroy them?

• In 2002 the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was created to govern businesses on how long they have to retain your records before you can shred them. If you have any questions you can contact us to find out if these restrictions apply to you and find out the retention times.
