Improper information destruction and disposal represent a major risk for businesses today.
Many federal and state laws require companies to securely destroy
confidential or personally identifiable information. The proper steps must be
taken to ensure that information intended for disposal is securely and permanently destroyed
to an unreadable non-recoverable form. Iron Mountain's secure shredding is a simple
cost-effective way to reduce your exposure to risk and protect your company's reputation.
More than 73,000 customers throughout North America rely on Iron Mountain's secure shredding services.
We shred over 40,000 pounds of material per month
throughout our network of secure shredding facilities and our recycling efforts
helped save over 4 million trees every year.
Security is a way of life at Iron Mountain. As a result we have developed the
InControl secure transportation platform.
InControl protects your information while in transit with patent-pending security,
real time tracking and an auditable chain of custody.
Let's go inside Iron Mountain to see how it all works.
We place locked collection containers at strategic locations throughout your offices. We also provide
customer communication and education tools to help raise employee awareness and promote adoption.
Each container, whether a shredding bin or console, has a
unique barcode that it scanned when it is serviced by our driver. Using a
real time wireless scanner, the driver captures and records service information.
To signify and confirm materials transferred to Iron Mountain custody, the
driver collects your electronic signature. This electronic signature becomes part
of a verifiable audit trail that is transmitted in real time to Iron Mountain
using wireless technology.
Our driver transports the containers to a protected shredding facility in a secure Iron Mountain vehicle.
The documents remain locked in collection containers
until their arrival at an Iron Mountain secure shredding facility,
where they are immediately co-mingled with millions of other documents.
Precision commercial equipment is used to shred documents in a 2-stage process.
Materials are first cut into strips, then cross-shredded to ensure a complete destruction.
The shredded materials have been bailed and securely transported to a pulping mill for recycling.
In addition to paper and cardboard we can securely destroy plastics,
such as computer disks, CD-roms, DVDs, backup and videotapes, microfiche, X-Rays
ID badges and bank cards.
Following service completion, Iron Mountain provides customers with a certificate of
destruction, recorded on their monthly invoice.
For customers that require witnessed destruction of materials, Iron Mountain also
offers an onsite secure shredding service option.
And Iron Mountain mobile shredding unit destroys documents and other paper-based
materials on your premises. You can witnessed the destruction process using
an onboard closed circuit television system.

control, motion sensors, and break in detection. Every entrance is protected
by dual security layers. For visitors and employees, the first layer is the men trap.
Here, visitors must be recognized before being allowed to enter.

government-issued ID and must wear a special visitor's badge.
All visits are documented in the daily log kept by each facility. These visitors
require an escort at all times. Movement within the facilities entrance and
egress points is access control directly by Iron Mountain. Security precautions are
extensive. Even drivers entering the loading area must pass through several security layers.
This locked perimeter fence can only be opened from inside the building after a
driver has been positively identified.
