What Is a Confidential Shredding?
Confidential shredding is the process of destroying sensitive or confidential documents, files, or materials in a way that ensures their complete destruction and prevents unauthorised access or retrieval of the information they contain. This is typically done using shredders that cut the paper into small pieces or particles, making it virtually impossible to reconstruct the original documents.
