Keep your Government Documents Safe from Data Breaches & Identity Theft.

Government organizations around the country are held to high standards when protecting the confidential information that is created or passed through a specific entity. From federal departments to local municipalities, these organizations handle sensitive data that, if compromised, could lead to significant consequences including identity theft, fraud, and loss of public trust. Over the past few decades, the laws that govern how and when a government facility disposes of confidential information have been changed or updated to keep pace with evolving threats and technology. As a result, compliance with these laws is not only important—it's mandatory.

At Shred America, we understand the weight of responsibility that government organizations bear when it comes to protecting sensitive information. Our team is here to help keep your organization fully compliant with all applicable state and federal regulations, ensuring that your data is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Laws that govern your organization:

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was created to protect the privacy and security of certain health records. For government agencies dealing with health-related information, HIPAA mandates the safeguarding and proper disposal of documents containing protected health information (PHI). Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and reputational damage. Our secure shredding solutions help you meet HIPAA requirements, reducing your risk of a data breach.

FACTA

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act was designed to protect consumers from identity theft. FACTA requires organizations to properly dispose of consumer information to prevent unauthorized access and misuse. This includes the destruction of documents containing personal financial data, credit information, or employment history. Government agencies often collect this type of information and must follow FACTA’s guidelines for secure disposal. Shred America ensures your practices align with this law, helping you avoid legal consequences and security breaches.
