Protection from Identity Theft

A commercial use personal, office or high security paper shredder provides the best protection from Identity theft or sensitive information theft.

The best practice to employ in identity theft protection - is to shred your documents and paper yourself right at the source.

Outsourcing your shredding can lead to costly and legal implications as your exposure is handed of to someone else. Shredding at the source is the only sure way to ensure sensitive information is not leak. When you outsource, you are still personally responsible for the information and are legally held liable under privacy laws in the event of a breach of information security.

By simply destroying sensitive information yourself, you can greatly reduce the chances of your information being used by others to steal your identity. And it's a lower cost option than signing a long term contract with a third party to do the destruction for you.

With a straight cut shredder you can ensure most general information is destroyed quickly with little effort. That's all it takes!  But because a straight cut shred cuts the sheets of paper into strips, it is not the best protection for highly sensitive or personal information...a straight cut shredder is mainly meant for most general office shredding needs. It allows for high volume and quick shredding of paper and documents. 

OREweb.ca highly recommends considering cross cut paper shredders for better protection. A cross cut shreds the paper in two directions to create smaller particles. This option provides better protection as the smaller particles are not as easily re-assembled or identifiable as they are with a strip cut.
