Corporate espionage, copyright violations, identity theft: misuse of information is a never-ending problem. The task of protecting information doesn't end at the wastebasket; that's only the beginning of the end. Certified document destruction by Confidential Records Management, Inc. ensures regulatory compliance, security, and privacy for you and your customers.

CRMI will work with the client to develop and implement a destruction plan that addresses security and liability issues and complies with the law, including the following laws:

• Fair Credit Reporting Act
• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
• Securities and Exchange Commission regulations

CRMI provides locked security bins for clients who require secure and timely destruction of sensitive and confidential documents. CRMI will place a locked bin in your office and develop a schedule for pickup and shredding. Secure destruction bins are available at no charge with scheduled pickup service. CRMI destroys records at one of our locations to ensure confidentiality of sensitive data. Our destruction facilities are limited-access and have security and monitoring systems.

Although our in-house records shredding is more cost-effective, CRMI provides on-site destruction of records in partnership with a fleet of mobile shredding vehicles for our clients who prefer this service.

Our industrial-grade shredders can destroy stapled, clipped, and bound records and nonpaper materials such as binders, computer storage media, film, x-rays, audiotapes and videotapes. CRMI recycles all shredded paper documents. Recycling completes the destruction cycle and helps keep the environment clean.

In addition to certifying records destruction, CRMI offers the following services:

• Third-party witnessing of destruction (for example, for copyrighted, royalty-earning, licensed, or counterfeit materials)
• Document searching (for example, for business clients to recover payments inadvertently placed in the trash)
• Delayed destruction (for example, for financial institutions to aid recovery of misplaced valuable documents)

• CRMI not only provides records destruction but also provides consultation and training regarding HIPAA.
• CRMI provides a certificate of destruction.
