Five Reasons you Should Choose Shredders from Digishred

By shredding these records, you’re reducing the risk of identity theft for your firm.

In addition, most businesses have a lot of documentation that has to be disposed of. With the use of a paper shredder machine, you can ensure that your confidential papers are destroyed in a secure manner.

Any professional services firm, including finance, engineering, and even auditing, acquires confidential information from its employees or customers. That information has to be deleted in an acceptable way in order to avoid being charged with carelessness and criminal offenses for failing to do so. Individuals’ fundamental right to privacy is protected by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), which came into effect on July 1, 2020, to safeguard personal information.

Shredders are the most convenient, most effective, and most cost-efficient method of destroying documents. They do not take up a considerable lot of room in either the workplace or the home environment and there are also a variety of brands to select from. In this article, we discuss the five top reasons you should choose shredders from Digishred.

Guaranteed compliance and security

Most businesses in South Africa will be required to adhere to the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), often known as the POPI Act. It will become clearer as the Information Regulator continues to draft the POPI Regulations.

The growing number of occurrences of identity theft and abuse in South Africa has necessitated the creation of rules to safeguard people’s privacy and personal information. The POPI Act outlines the basic requirements for gaining access to and processing another person’s personal information. According to the Act, “processing” is defined as the collection, receipt, recording, organisation of, retrieval, or use of any such information.

Information that may identify a person, such as their name, surname, identification number, or contact information like a phone number or email address, as well as any other unique information that can be used to identify them, is known as personal information.

With a shredder at your workplace, you’ll be able to quickly and securely dispose of any documents that are no longer required in terms of the Act. Most organisations need data protection policies, laws, and actions to guarantee that personal and sensitive information is protected.
