Secure Document Destruction

The File Room is committed to the highest standards of secure information destruction. We follow industry best practices for the secure handling and destruction of confidential materials, protecting our customers’ sensitive information throughout its entire life cycle.

Our destruction processes are designed to help organizations meet the numerous laws and regulations requiring the protection of confidential customer information, including HIPAA, FACTA and GLB.

Our security program includes the following elements:

• Employee Clearance: Drug screenings, employment history and criminal background are verified to restrict high-risk individuals from employment.
• Access Control: Security of material, security of facilities, monitoring of alarms, and the testing and verification of surveillance and recording systems.
• The Destruction Process: Particle size, destruction timeframe, and disposal process of material is audited and verified to be performed in accordance with The File Room’s stated policies and procedures.

Ongoing Audits

The File Room conducts regular audits to verify that confidential materials are protected at all times. Both scheduled and unannounced audits are performed at our secure destruction facility and in the field, in order to maintain the highest level of security for our clients’ confidential information.
