Document Destruction and Privacy Law Compliance

RecordSHRED Blog — Sat, 19 May 2012 08:25:17 +0000

Miami and Dade County businesses that fall under the umbrella of one of the many federal regulations that mandate security of confidential and personal data reportedly have spent a great deal of time and money in an attempt to ensure compliance with these laws. Experts caution the general public, however, that their personal information may still be vulnerable to unauthorized access despite these efforts, due to the fact that local businesses may not have the safety of the public as the top priority. Survey results indicate that most companies cite fears concerning violations and/or compliance with federal privacy laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act), FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act), and GLBA (Gramm Leach Bliley Act) as the chief reason for establishing guidelines for data security. In addition, according to a recent article in PC World magazine, “…it is possible to meet the minimum requirements for compliance without being truly secure, especially when ⌠companies⌡ have to deal with multiple, overlapping directives.” The article goes on to relate how businesses that must meet the minimum requirements for multiple regulatory mandates face an even greater struggle, as they attempt to comply with all of these privacy laws – in addition to other legislation which may have been established at the state level.

Document Destruction and Privacy Law Compliance

This is not to say that businesses cannot have the proverbial “best of both worlds” – that is to say that they can protect the personal and sensitive information of their clients while also achieving minimum compliance with these laws. It is in fact not only possible to achieve this goal, but actually the norm for larger businesses and companies that have an information technology department or can afford to hire a professional information security consultant. The concern seems to be for smaller businesses who may not be in the position to afford these services and may feel that “taking chances” is their only option. These businesses should be reminded that compliance is not just about taking necessary action to ensure that data can only be accessed by authorized users or that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, but is also about protecting sensitive information from compromise or exploitation – the main contributors to identity theft. The first step in this process is to establish a set of policies and procedures relating to data security, from the handling of sensitive documents to the encryption of flash drives – using privacy laws as a guideline.

Another step that Miami and Dade County businesses can take to achieve compliance with federal and state privacy laws and protect their clients is to set up a regular schedule for document destruction, preferably using the services of a professional shredding company such as recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been serving the document destruction needs of south Florida since 2003 and has earned an excellent reputation for reliable service, convenience and competitive pricing. Mobile shredding and off-site shredding services are available.

Identity Theft Among College Students in Miami

RecordSHRED Blog — Fri, 18 May 2012 17:15:06 +0000

I recently read a news item concerning the rising problem of identity theft among college students, which made me curious. Although like many other south Florida residents, I was aware that the rate of identity theft in this region has been steadily increasing, I must confess that it never occurred to me that college students were particularly vulnerable to this type of crime. For some reason, I think of an identity thief targeting an older person, someone that looks prosperous (i.e. drives an expensive car, wears designer clothes, carries a lot of cash or credit cards, etc). As the mother of a college student that does not fit any of these criteria, I was much more concerned about the traditional problems that students face – such as drinking, partying, and engaging in the wonderfully irresponsible behavior that only comes with youth and immaturity.

Identity Theft Among College Students in Miami

According to data released by the United States Federal Trade Commissions, Florida had more reported incidents of identity theft than any other state last year. Although this statistic alone is enough to give anyone living in the Miami and Dade County area pause, it can be especially frightening for parents of college students, who have been shown to be not only vulnerable but surprisingly indifferent to this very real threat. This vulnerability can manifest itself in a number of ways. For example, a recent news item featured on the Minnesota-based Star Tribune East Metro website reported that ECMC, a company that processes nationwide student loans, reported a major theft of “personally identifiable information” involving 3.3 million students following a break-in at its Oakdale headquarters. Company officials believe it could be one of the biggest cases of student identity theft in the country, affecting approximately 5 percent of all students with federal loans in the United States. Another way that thieves target college and university students is through credit card offers in the mail. Impulse Research for Chubb Group Insurance Companies conducted a nationwide survey of college students for identity theft research purposes a few years ago and discovered that 49 percent of today’s college students receive frequent applications for credit cards, while 30 percent of those college students throw the applications away in their original condition – with all the personal data intact. Adding insult to injury is the fact that, according to the survey results, nearly 30 percent of college students ignore their checking account and credit card balances. College students should be strongly encouraged to keep track of their funds, which will ultimately make it much more difficult for identity thieves to succeed.

Another way for Miami and Dade County students and parents to ward off the specter of identity theft is to retain the services of a professional paper shredding company such as recordSHRED to destroy these sensitive documents. Shredding and data destruction have been shown to be the most effective ways to safeguard identity, making it impossible for even the cleverest identity thief to gain unauthorized access to personal information. recordSHRED has been serving businesses and residents in the south Florida area since 2003, gaining a reputation for exemplary service, convenience, and competitive pricing. recordSHRED offers both mobile shredding service and drop off document destruction at the access restricted facility located in Fort Lauderdale.

Reducing Identity Theft in Miami

RecordSHRED Blog — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:10:51 +0000

As I travel around Miami and Dade County and observe the variety of ways that data and records management systems are maintained by businesses, I am amazed at just how ignorant many companies are with regard to this issue. For example, I recently witnessed a retail store employee throw a stack of credit card receipts in the trash – without shredding them or even bothering to tear them up. Concerned, since I am a frequent patron of this particular location, I reported the incident to management, who assured me that this was an exception rather than the rule and that the employee would be dealt with according to their specific policy, leaving me with little choice but to place my trust in their “system” and hope that my credit card number will not be among the next group that is disposed of “in error” by an employee who has not been trained in how to handle sensitive and confidential data.

Reducing Identity Theft in Miami

Identity thieves can obtain this personal information in a variety of ways. One of the most renowned of these is by “dumpster diving,” which involves literally going through the victim’s trash in an effort to gain access to this data. Statistics also indicate that many local establishments have taken little or no action toward securing access to their trash. Although it is difficult to control how businesses handle this data, there are steps that consumers can take to reduce their chances of becoming another south Florida identity theft statistic. For example, if there is any concern about safety of the credit card receipt, ask the employee and/or manager what steps are taken to ensure data security. Experts also cite several precautions that can greatly reduce the chances of identity theft such as: (a) avoiding carrying a Social Security card; (b) covering the keypad when entering the pin number into an automatic teller machine (ATM); and (c) carrying only the credit cards and identification that are necessary. Another helpful tip provided by south Florida law enforcement is disguising the boxes which contained high ticket items such as televisions, computers, video game systems, etc. before putting them out on the street. Online banking and computerized bill paying options for credit card bills and other expenses can also greatly reduce the chances of an identity thief getting his or her hands on personal data by taking paper out of the equation entirely, although it is recommended that online transactions and bank statements be monitored on a regular basis to catch unauthorized or fraudulent charges.

Another effective way for Miami residents to reduce and eliminate identity theft is to retain the services of a professional paper shredding service such as recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been serving the paper shredding and data destruction needs of south Florida since 2003, and the mobile paper shredding option has proven very popular with Miami residents that want fast and convenient service and competitive pricing. Drop-off paper shredding is also available at the secure and access-restricted facility located in Fort Lauderdale.

Document Destruction and Small Businesses

RecordSHRED Blog — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:58:06 +0000

According to recent research results, small businesses seem to be suffering a disproportionate amount of damage with regard to data and security breaches. This survey, conducted by the Identity Theft Resource Center, stated that out of the 226 of these breaches from 2011 that were examined, approximately 44% of the victims were businesses that listed their assets at under $35 million. Although monetary claims and damages are much higher for big businesses that experience data breach incidents, such as the recent Sony and Verizon data breaches which involved millions of dollars each, experts seem most concerned about the vulnerability of small businesses for a variety of reasons. Miami and Dade County are particular areas of concern for authorities due to the high incidences of medical identity theft that have been reported in the region.

Document Destruction and Small Businesses

First of all, many small companies operate under the misconception that the costs of handling data breaches and security leaks are covered under their general liability insurance policy, which is not the case. This is especially important with federal and state privacy laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act), FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act), and GLBA (Gramm Leach Bliley Act) – all of which have specific standards and guidelines and have steps that must be taken, such as the notification of those people whose data was exposed – which is usually not included in a standard general liability insurance policy.

Another security breach misconception that many small businesses believe is that simply having an information technology department on staff, or hiring a professional information technology security consultant reduces the risk. One just need to take a closer look at the examples cited above involving big business giants Sony and Verizon, both of which employ thousands of information technology specialists, to realize that this is also a fallacy. It may sound very clichéd, but if the IT departments of these companies are not able to guarantee the safety and security of confidential client data, then it is ludicrous to think that a small department or consultant with limited resources can provide the greatest level of information protection.

Not providing enough employee training and/or trusting employees to know how to protect data are also not safe options for small businesses, as is completely relying on employees to be honest. It is unfortunate, but according to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse database, many data and security breaches have occurred in recent years due to employee theft and other dishonest actions. Employees who have not been trained in how to treat confidential information and either dispose of it incorrectly or provide unauthorized access in some other way also account for a large percentage of small business security breaches.

One of the most effective ways to protect confidential data in Dade County is to retain the services of a professional document destruction company such as recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been serving the shredding and data destruction needs of south Florida since 2003, garnering praise for customer service, reliability, security, convenience, and competitive pricing.

Product Destruction in Miami

RecordSHRED Blog — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:46:02 +0000

What do the following things have in common: (a) a truckload of improperly labeled cosmetic packages; (b) a warehouse full of children’s toys containing too much of a toxic metal; and (c) a van full of old county uniforms? They are all items that cannot be disposed of by ordinary means such as simply throwing them away for different reasons – ranging from federal regulations to environmental concerns. According to Andrew Sokol, Founder and President of south Florida’s most trusted data destruction service, recordSHRED, all of these items were candidates for his company’s product destruction service. Many local businesses seem to operate under the assumption that a company primarily known for paper shredding offers limited services, but Sokol is quick to point out that recordSHRED is often called upon to service clients with unconventional destruction requests.

Product Destruction in Miami

A good example can be found in the shredding of the aforementioned county uniforms. According to Sokol, the official capacity of the uniforms and equipment mandated that they be destroyed as completely as possible – although he informed client that the shredding machinery would only be able accomplish so much. “The material went through the shredder fine and rendered the fabric completely unusable and guaranteed that the uniforms could never be worn again, although it did not completely ‘shred’ them per se,” states Sokol. recordSHRED has also dealt with destruction of unused t-shirts, such as those used in expired promotions or damaged by printing errors.

Another misconception that Sokol would like to dispel is that shredding machinery is limited in the items that it can destroy. “Product destruction means just that,” he states proudly. “All of the equipment at recordSHRED is capable of product destruction. They just need to be processed separately from regular documents since we recycle the paper.” He further states that x-rays are another excellent example of an item for which recordSHRED often performs destruction services, but which cannot be combined with paper due to the high metal content of the traditional x-ray films. The small amount of metal in Acco™ fasteners and paper clips does not prevent these items from being shredded along with the paper, however, which Sokol points out reduces the amount of sorting and preparation involved for shredding and destruction services. The professionals at recordSHRED have also been called upon to destroy counterfeit or knock-off items, confidential product prototypes, and obsolete marketing materials – all with highly satisfactory results.

recordSHRED has been serving the paper shredding, hard drive destruction, data shredding, and product destruction needs of Miami and Dade County since 2003, and Sokol is proud to boast that his company has achieved AAA-Certification from NAID (National Association for Information Destruction), which is considered by many to be the highest standard within the destruction industry. Product destruction services are available through mobile shredding and pick-up service is available for larger items that can be destroyed within recordSHRED’s secure and access-restricted facility located in Fort Lauderdale.

Document Destruction and Employment Records Retention

RecordSHRED Blog — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:30:53 +0000

Much has been made of the need for paper shredding and document destruction for Miami and Dade County businesses who want to reduce or eliminate the risk of identity theft for their employees and/or their clients. Most of these companies are also aware that improper disposal of these records constitutes a violation of various federal privacy laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act), FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act), and GLBA (Gramm Leach Bliley Act), as well industry standards such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Unfortunately, many small businesses have no idea as to the extent of their liability in the event of a data breach or the improper disposal of a customer’s personal information. Fines for violations of privacy regulations can range from $100 to $1,500,000, and can include not only the business entity but also the employee, associate, or even the independent contractor who is found to be responsible for the incident.

The harsh reality of these penalties has compelled a great percentage of Miami businesses to take a second look at the organization and maintenance of their respective document and records management systems, especially with regard to employment files – which many companies admit do not receive the same level of attention as client records. One of the greatest concerns on the minds of these companies is to determine exactly how long certain records must be maintained – i.e. they want to know if there is a time limit on document retention which must be met before these papers can be shredded.

Document Destruction and Employment Records Retention

Although all of the aforementioned federal and state laws include various provisions related to the subject of document retention for all types of files, here is a short list (which is by no means comprehensive and meant to only be used as a general guideline):

1. Pre-Employment records: These include job applications and advertisements, and must be kept for one (1) year from the date of the event.

2. Employee Compensation and Leave of Absence records: All of these documents should be kept for a period of three (3) years.

3. I-9 Documentation: Verifications must be retained for three (3) years from the date of hire.

4. Employment records: These include transfers, terminations, promotions, etc, and must be kept for one (1) year from the date of the action taken.

5. OSHA records: The law mandates that these be kept for a period of five (5) years following the end of the year for which they relate.

Most experts agree that the most effective way to maintain compliance with federal and state privacy laws and industry standards is to retain the services of a professional document destruction service such as recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been serving the paper shredding needs of the south Florida community since 2003, and the company has earned a well-deserved reputation for exemplary service, convenience, and competitive pricing. recordSHRED’s document destruction options for Miami businesses include the popular mobile shredding service as well as drop-off service in the secure and access-restricted shredding facility located in Fort Lauderdale.

Data Destruction and Portable Storage Devices

RecordSHRED Blog — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 09:02:35 +0000

Data breaches and unauthorized access to confidential information have become one of the leading contributors to identity theft, according to officials and information technology security experts. To put this into perspective, those of us who fifteen years ago rushed out and bought portable paper shredders and cut up credit cards and old bank statements in an attempt to ward off the threat of “dumpster divers” must now worry about our personal information being exposed in ways for which we have no control. Although many Miami and Dade County businesses have established disk-encryption and other various methods for their office computers and networks, designed to protect their customers and themselves from their data being stolen, little has been done by these same companies to similarly safeguard the portable storage devices being used by their employees.

Data Destruction and Portable Storage Devices

For example, let’s examine these recent examples provided by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse:

a) Personal information for approximately 878 patients of University of Kentucky Healthcare in Lexington, Kentucky was exposed after an employee’s cellular phone was either lost or stolen in September of 2011. The phone contained not only clinical data, but also medical record numbers and names, although it has been confirmed that no Social Security numbers or financial data was accessed.

b) An unknown quantity of physician and patient information from Virtual Radiological Professionals was compromised when an employee’s laptop computer was stolen from a car in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Data included not only names and addresses, but also Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and some clinical data.

c) Officials in Tampa, Florida state that the data from an unknown quantity of patients was made vulnerable following the November, 2010 theft of a camera, several laptops, and several “thumb drives” from the James A. Haley VA Hospital. All of these items are believed to have contained Social Security numbers, graphic photos of female breast cancer patients, and other data.

Stories like this are becoming more and more common as technology advances and employees are being provided with these devices for the purposes of telecommuting and/or working from home. This finds local businesses somewhat of an impasse with regard to protecting the safety of our personal information and protecting themselves from prosecution or civil litigation for privacy rights violations. Some businesses have taken proactive steps like banning the use of all non-company phones, but this have proven very unpopular with employees and led to other problems. Using mobile security solutions that password protect and provide security for company email and other business communications contained on cell phones and laptops seems to be a better idea, but it more expensive since it requires what is known as a mobile device management (MDM) solution set up by an information technology specialist.

Another effective way that many Miami and Dade County businesses have found to protect personal data is to have these devices destroyed periodically, using the data destruction services of a professional company such as recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been serving south Florida with a variety of shredding and destruction options since 2003, and provides both mobile and off-site destruction services.

Document Destruction Services in Fort Lauderdale

RecordSHRED Blog — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:28:12 +0000

Although the benefits of using document shredding services have been touted in the Fort Lauderdale and Broward County area for years, there are still local businesses that continue to dispose of sensitive documents in an irresponsible manner. This has unfortunately been a contributing factor to the identity theft epidemic within the state of Florida, which has local law enforcement officials and information technology experts at a loss as to how to protect the general public from these crimes. Federal privacy laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act), and FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) have been somewhat successful in that businesses are starting to pay more attention to paper shredding in order to avoid costly fines and harsh penalties, but the general consensus is that there is still much work to be done to spread the word about how much document destruction services can actually benefit the business while at the same time safeguarding protected client information.

What Are the Benefits of Document Destruction Services?

Although there are many advantages to document destruction services, one of the most important within the commercial sector is convenience. Document destruction has evolved quite a bit from its less than stellar introduction in the late 1980s, when only a few larger corporations and government agencies availed themselves of these services – primarily to protect themselves from financial liability issues. The first large commercial shredding machines were so large and bulky that they often required large rooms and facilities to house them. As with any emerging technology, commercial shredding during this period was expensive, but has gradually become much more affordable with the advent of smaller industrial shredding machines which are often capable of destroying entire file boxes of documents in mere minutes. Mobile document destruction services – in which a truck outfitted with a large shredding machine can actually come to the place of business to shred the paper – has taken this convenience to a new level, and has proven very popular with many businesses within south Florida. Another benefit to document destruction services is peace of mind – on the part of both the client and the shredding company – both of which are assured that destruction of the paper is thorough and complete.

Local Options for Document Destruction Services

Companies located within Broward County are fortunate in that they have access to the document destruction services options available at recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been serving the shredding and document destruction needs of the area since 2003, and the company has been certified by NAID (National Association for Information Destruction), which is considered to be the highest standard within the shredding and destruction industry. Local companies have also given the company top marks in customer service and competitive pricing. recordSHRED offers both mobile document destruction services as well as off-site shredding in the access-restricted facility located in Oakland Park.

Data Destruction in Palm Beach

RecordSHRED Blog — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:27:16 +0000

I recently ran into an old friend and we began discussing how communication has changed in the Palm Beach and Boca Raton area over the years – beginning with how the now old-fashioned plug in telephone evolved into the “cordless” phone that everyone was so excited about in the 1980s. I can remember the first so-called “car telephones” in which the receiver was actually located in the car itself, and of course we are all familiar with the cellular telephone. While this transformation was occurring, computer technology was making great strides of its own culminating in today’s highly sophisticated laptops and tablets. It was therefore inevitable that the two technologies would at some point combine their resources – resulting in the “smart” phone. After discussing this evolution and marveling at the many changes that have occurred in the field of technology over the years, the discussion turned to what types of information were being transmitted and shared between these devices and if it was possible to provide adequate safeguards against unauthorized access to it.

Data Destruction in Palm Beach

Although the media may have changed a bit over the years – from paper forms and records to PDFs, TIFFs, and Word™ documents, the need for data itself is still very important. I can actually think of very few day to day transactions in which an exchange of data is not a necessity. Some good examples include putting gas in the car using a debit or credit card, writing a check for groceries, going to the doctor’s office and completing several pages of intake forms, opening a credit card bill or bank statement, and paying a bill online. Many residents do not even stop to think that even simple actions such as logging into email account or visiting social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter requires some form of an information exchange. In other words, data is ubiquitous – it is everywhere – and there is really no way to stop it. This makes the protection of this data all the more important – especially in the state of Florida, which leads the country in states with the most identity theft cases. Despite the omnipresent nature of personal information which is seemingly vulnerable, there is one sure way to combat this problem – data destruction. Data destruction is an umbrella term that usually encompasses several types of services, ranging from simple paper shredding to hard drive destruction.

Palm Beach County residents and businesses have been relying on the data destruction services available at recordSHRED since 2003. recordSHRED is so popular in the area due to not only exemplary service and competitive pricing but also for the variety of data destruction options which the company offers. recordSHRED’s mobile shredding trucks are equipped with the latest in shredding technology, including an onboard viewer to provide clients with an extra level of assurance that their data is being destroyed. Off site and drop off shredding service is also available in the recordSHRED data destruction facility located in Fort Lauderdale.

Records Destruction in Miami

RecordSHRED Blog — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 09:26:26 +0000

Due in large part to the media and warnings from law enforcement and information technology security experts, Miami and Dade County businesses and residents have become much more careful with regard to the safety and integrity of their personal information. Although identity theft has become a major problem in every state across the country, Florida leads the pack in complaints for this type of crime – according to the United States Federal Trade Commission. This has prompted many citizens who live and work in the area to search for ways to ensure that confidential information and sensitive data does not fall into unauthorized hands – from online monitoring of bank accounts and credit cards to paying for an identity protection service to records destruction. Carrying only the minimally required identification and keeping all portable data storage devices such as laptops and smart phones secure are other popular methods of identity theft deterrent. Despite these measures, however, incidences of this type of crime are on the rise, which has prompted some to come to the conclusion that a great percentage of identity theft incidents may have began not with an individual, but with a business that had been given this data – and may have (intentionally or unintentionally) provided someone else with unauthorized access to it. Where exactly is the final destination of our personal data, you may ask. The answer to that question depends largely upon the “who, what, how, and why” of each individual situation.

Records Destruction in Miami

The “who” in question refers to the business or industry that was given the information – whether it is a doctor’s office, insurance company, retail establishment, online store, etc. All of these types of businesses and industries have a set of standards that govern how sensitive and confidential data must be treated. For example, any business that handles medical records is bound by the rules and regulations of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act), while the retail industry is bound by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCIDSS) and FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act). These laws and standards were put into place primarily to protect the public from identity theft by forcing businesses to meet their respective guidelines or face heavy penalties – which can include substantial fines and/or even criminal prosecution in cases where the information was stolen, leaked deliberately, or leaked with “willful neglect.” Another unpleasant consequence for businesses that follows a violation of a federal privacy law or standard is bad publicity. Websites such as the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse actually exist solely to keep the public informed of leaks of personal information – including the name and location of the business in violation. In addition, when local news media pick up on one of these stories, they usually provide even greater detail – which has been proven to be a cause for consumer “churn” – the turnover that occurs when customers stop patronizing one business in favor of a competitor. The next part of this article will address what types of data are stolen and how they are categorized.

The general consensus is that one of the best ways that Miami and Dade County businesses can protect themselves and their customers is to retain the services of a professional records destruction company such as recordSHRED. recordSHRED has been providing records destruction services for south Florida businesses since 2003, and is compliant with all privacy laws, in addition to receiving a coveted AAA-Certification from NAID (National Association for Information Destruction), the highest standard in the shredding industry.
