onsite.vs.offsite

Day and night, we shred on your site.

Shred First UK provides secure on-site document destruction, so why shred on site instead of off-site? Shred First UK on-site service delivers a quicker and more secure process. On-site destruction is the safer method to shredding, as there are fewer individuals who come into contact and handle your sensitive data. Only the two members of Shred First UK personnel that meet you at the location you require, will come into contact with your documents.

With off-site destruction services, your data will become more visual not only to the paper collectors, but by the warehouse workers who sort your materials into high or low grade products. Your data may even be stored for a period of time before it eventually gets shredded.
With Shred First UK there are fewer steps to take for the process to be completed, this way your materials will remain more secure and therefore the service becomes more reliable. With off-site shredding there are many more steps to be carried out; the service can be far less efficient and more time consuming. The off-site process leaves many gaps and chances of security breaches and fraud lapses.
Whilst dealing with the Shred First UK on-site procedure there is a guarantee that as our client, data is completely destroyed and fully disposed of on the spot. The client is certain that all data is now shredded beyond recognition
.

Off-site services means that the company will collect your data, and take it away to their site to shred the materials, instead of performing the operation at your preferred location.
You as a client have the opportunity to witness the entire document destruction performed by Shred First UK. Again, this gives you peace of mind that the shredding process is completed at your door. In the off-site shredding situation the demonstration is not visible to the client, and therefore there is no guarantee that your data is fully disposed of. Can you be sure of what happens to your data?
Having on-site destruction carried out, means that you as a client are in full control of your data being shredded. The entire operation is on your terms and you are in the driving seat. With off-site destruction the moment the vehicle leaves your site you are no longer in control and it is no longer on your terms.
The on-site Shred First UK service will immediately produce a document of destruction certificate for the client at the end of the procedure.
This certificate is your document of evidence and proof that Shred First UK has carried out the operation that has been instructed.

Shred First UK believe in being fully compliant and to take all necessary steps to insuring a safe on-site shredding process.
