FileVault Secure Shredding Services
Protecting your business from data breaches with professional, compliant, and reliable secure shredding solutions.
The High Cost of Improper Document Disposal
Storing old documents creates unnecessary risk. Improper disposal of sensitive information can lead to severe consequences, including data breaches that cost U.S. companies an average of $9.36 million. Beyond financial loss, non-compliance with regulations like HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA can result in steep penalties and damage to your reputation. An standard office shredding service is often not enough to meet these stringent legal requirements, leaving your business vulnerable.
Our shredding services for businesses are designed to eliminate these risks, providing a secure and compliant solution for information destruction.
A Comprehensive Secure Shredding Service You Can Trust
FileVault offers more than just destruction; we provide a certified security process. Our confidential shredding services ensure your sensitive information is permanently and safely destroyed, protecting your clients, employees, and business.
NAID AAA Certified Security
We hold a NAID AAA Certification, the industry’s highest standard. This ensures our equipment, staff, and procedures meet strict security protocols for secure document shredding, which is verified by unannounced third-party audits.
Verifiable Chain of Custody
Our process includes a documented secure chain of custody. We track your documents from locked collection containers to their final destruction, providing a Certificate of Destruction as legal proof of compliance.
Flexible Shredding Solutions
Choose from on-site or off-site shredding to fit your needs. Whether you require scheduled pickups for ongoing needs or bulk shredding services for a one-time purge, we provide a tailored plan. Learn more about on-site vs. off-site shredding.
In-House vs. Professional Shredding
Outsourcing your document destruction is more secure and cost-effective than you might think. A dedicated secure shredding service saves valuable employee time and provides superior protection.

NAID AAA Certification is the highest security standard for the information destruction industry. It means a provider’s hiring practices, equipment, and facilities have passed rigorous, unannounced audits by accredited security professionals. It is your best assurance of a secure shredding process.
What happens to the documents after they are shredded?
After a secure shredding, all shredded paper is securely baled and transported to a certified recycling partner. This ensures your confidential information is unrecoverable while also supporting environmental sustainability.
