Did you know that in the case of ID fraud prevention smaller is better! It is in the case of the size your shredder cuts the paper in to; you should use a cross cut or micro shredder which can cut a single sheet of A4 paper in to over 2500 pieces!
According to research carried out by Fellowes only 64% of businesses have a specific policy on how sensitive material should be dealt with. This highlights the complacency UK organisations have with regard to ID Fraud prevention and could explain why 32% of employees admit to throwing away confidential documents without shredding them first.
Behaviour of this kind can put your business and its customers at risk . . . fortunately protection of paper based documents is very easy simply shred all sensitive documents into confetti or micro sized pieces.
