Why Shred?

Identity theft and unauthorized disclosure of private information has reached epidemic proportions. According to the Better Business Bureau, last year alone this crime claimed more than 8.9 million victims. But information theft is not just something that affects consumers. The FBI estimates that information theft costs American businesses as much as $24 Billion in losses each and every year.

With over 40 federal laws mandating that all businesses, healthcare facilities and financial institutions protect the confidential information of their customers, clients and patients, it is imperative that you establish a shredding program. Failure to do so can expose your organization to severe fines, bad publicity and lost business.

Are you Compliant...
With All The New Information Security Laws?

If your organization doesn't have updated, privacy law policies, in writing, that meet the legal requirements mandated by this year's two new information security laws, then you could be exposing your organization to severe fines, bad publicity and lost business.

During the past year the Department of Health and Human Services and the FTC issued two new information security laws to combat identity theft. Both laws legally require organizations just like yours to establish a privacy protection policy. Here are the highlights of these laws:

HITECH Act (HIPAA’s Big Brother)
effective February 17th, 2011.

• Business Associates Agreement must be redone
• Security breach notification to the department of HHS and media
• States' Attorneys General in charge of enforcement
• Fines increased from $25,000 to $1,500,000
• HIPAA regulations extended to business associates

Identity Theft Red Flags Rule
effective January 1, 2011.
