Document Destruction Service
The risks of personal identity theft are not a secret, but many Massachusetts and New Hampshire companies are still unaware that business identity theft is a rising trend they need to be concerned about in addition to compliance with Privacy Laws. The problem for many businesses is that they don’t know where or how fraud is happening, making it difficult to prevent. Our Company is helping in the fight against fraud by providing local businesses with Secure Document Shredding that offers great peace of mind.
Many Massachusetts companies underestimate the risk and the consequences of business identity theft and non compliance with HIPAA, SOX and FACTA. Over 47 % of small businesses felt that a data breach would not impact their business; however, a study by the Ponemon Institute demonstrates that a data breach could cost organizations an average of $7.2 million! This does not include indirect costs such as lost customers or damaged reputations, nor does it include the increased cost that could occur if an identity thieve was able to assume the business identity.
As new security threats continue to emerge, businesses, just like consumers are vulnerable to fraud in new and often surprising ways, Establishing a clear and far-reaching security protocol, including secure document shredding, can help safeguard information in the office, but businesses also need to be concerned about identity theft through their computer networks.

Our Company Story:
Over the years, our company founder, Mr. Bechat accumulated a large amount of documents that needed to be shredded. He was too busy to do it himself and called one of the large companies to schedule service at his home office. The truck showed up late and service was not what has expected, furthermore the invoice was not what he was quoted over the phone when he hired “the Big company”. The invoice had so many “extra” fees and to make matters worst, he was told that “the Big company” was not in the business of residential shredding. They rather focus on other “big fish” Feeling un-appreciated and deceived, Mr. Bechat started a local shredding service that he thought can do what “other Big Company” won’t do: Be transparent, offer flat low rates, treat customers like he wanted to be treated. That was the beginning of successful journey into the shredding industry. Call us for a Free Estimate Call (978)851-0199
