APPROVED SITE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Approved Site

This means that all of the facilities used by Metropolitan Shredding Service for the destruction of sensitive documents have been investigated and approved by the relevant Australian Federal government agencies to the security level of “In Confidence”.

Not only the facilities, but the policies and procedures of how your documentation is stored, transported, destroyed, including the staff, have been cleared to a minimum required by the National Police Records Check. All policies and procedures are scrutinised during the accreditation process.

What does this mean for my company?

In simple terms you get a company with strict guidelines on how your product is handled and destroyed.

How do I know that I am using a company that has this accreditation?

Unless you ask... you don’t.
