Secure Shredding Services Pontiac MI

The business landscape in Pontiac has changed dramatically since its incorporation as a city in 1861. Pontiac played a vital role in the growth of the auto industry, but has struggled with declining populations since the early 1980’s. When Pontiac was no longer an automotive boomtown, the lessened presence of the auto industry gave way to service industry-based businesses, financial institutions, apartment housing and medical care providers. No matter the industry, all businesses deal with sensitive information that requires careful handling. Dumpsters and trash bins are a goldmine for identity thieves and a potential target for business competitors and former employees, looking for an opportunity to potentially cash in at your expense. Human resources and employee records, sales and credit reports, bank statements and financial information, supplier cost information, old register tapes and daily operating reports provide a wealth of information for individuals looking to commit fraud or harm your business. Providers in the health care industry, in Pontiac, and around the U.S., are bound by guidelines established in the Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. According to the act, any personally identifiable health information has to be destroyed without allowing unauthorized access during any phase of handling.
