Document Management and Shredding Solutions for the Manufacturing Industry
Efficient Document Management and Secure Shredding for the Manufacturing Sector
In the manufacturing sector, managing sensitive information efficiently and securely is critical. From design blueprints and proprietary data to employee records and compliance documents, safeguarding this information is essential to protect intellectual property, maintain compliance, and mitigate risks. Corrigan Record Storage offers tailored document management and shredding solutions to meet the unique needs of manufacturing businesses.
Why Document Security Matters in Manufacturing
Manufacturers handle large volumes of data that demand robust security and efficient organization. From protecting proprietary designs to meeting regulatory compliance standards, manufacturing operations need reliable solutions to manage critical documents and streamline access.
- Protect Intellectual Property: Safeguard design plans, trade secrets, and R&D data from unauthorized access.
- Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to industry-specific regulations and data protection laws such as ISO standards and OSHA requirements.
- Mitigate Risk: Prevent data breaches and industrial espionage by securely managing and disposing of sensitive documents.

Hard Drive Destruction and E-Waste Recycling Services
In the manufacturing sector, protecting sensitive information is paramount, particularly when dealing with digital data. Hard drives from outdated or decommissioned equipment often store confidential details, including proprietary designs, client information, and financial records. However, simply deleting files or formatting drives is insufficient to ensure data security. Secure hard drive destruction is the only reliable way to prevent data recovery, offering peace of mind while ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Additionally, outdated electronics and equipment tend to accumulate quickly, posing challenges in managing electronic waste (e-waste). This waste includes old computers, servers, industrial machinery, and various electronic components. Properly recycling e-waste is essential—not only for safeguarding sensitive data but also for protecting the environment and adhering to regulatory standards.

We optimize your record management
Effective records management is crucial for manufacturing companies to organize, protect, and maintain access to critical information throughout its lifecycle. It ensures compliance with industry regulations, enhances data security, and enables quick retrieval of information, supporting streamlined operations and better decision-making. A strong records management system minimizes risks of data breaches, ensures regulatory readiness, and lowers storage costs by systematically removing unnecessary records. For manufacturers, this approach promotes transparency, builds trust, and ensures adherence to industry standards and legal requirements.
FACTA is the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, a federal law that applies to every business in California, particularly in the banking and finance sectors. It was created to eliminate the risk of fraud and identity theft. Any company that improperly disposes of confidential information can face hefty fines of up to $2500 per file. This legislation addresses secure information disposal requirements, ID theft, and access to credit reports. Proper disposal of these reports and records is essential to protect against unauthorized access to or use of the information.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates that all healthcare providers, referred to as “covered entities,” must safely dispose of “protected health information” (PHI). The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires these entities to implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the privacy of PHI, including its disposal. For PHI contained in paper records, shredding is essential to render the information effectively unreadable, indecipherable, and irrecoverable.
What to Shred in Manufacturing:
Manufacturing companies deal with a range of sensitive documents that require secure disposal to protect proprietary information, comply with industry regulations, and safeguard confidential business data. By securely shredding these documents, manufacturers ensure compliance with regulations like trade secret protection laws, data privacy standards, and industry-specific requirements, all aimed at preventing unauthorized access to critical information. Here are the key types of documents manufacturing companies typically need to shred:
Product prototypes and design schematics
Customer contracts and supplier agreements
Employee records and payroll information
