Legal & Regulatory Violations.
 |
All businesses have occasion to discard
confidential data. Customers lists, price lists, sales statistics,
drafts of bids and correspondence, and even memos, contain information
about business activity which would interest any competitor.
Every business is also entrusted with information that
must be kept private. Employees and customers have the legal right to
have this data protected.
Without the proper safeguards, information ends up in the dumpster where
it is readily, and legally, available to anybody. Business espionage
professionals consider the trash as the single most available source of
competitive and private information from the average business.
Any establishment that discards private and
proprietary data without the benefit of destruction exposes itself to
the risk of criminal and civil prosecution, as well as the costly loss
of business.
