Document Destruction
Destruction Services
Our Destruction Process
Our document destruction process is designed to ensure that any confidential or sensitive data held in physical form is destroyed in a secure and compliant manner. The process is divided into two parts – the first is managed by our Bureau team and the second by our Warehouse team.
The Bureau team is responsible for managing shredding requests and creating the necessary paperwork. Once a consignment’s retention period has expired, or a request has been placed, an authorisation form is sent to the client for their approval. Once authorised, the Bureau team sends the form to our Warehouse team and the process moves to the second stage.
The Warehouse team then arranges for the authorised boxes to be moved from storage to the destruction area. The pallets are wrapped in shrink wrap, and our disposal partner is contacted to collect and dispose of the boxes. Once the boxes are destroyed, a ticket is received from the disposal partner, which is then sent to the Bureau team for filing.
Throughout the process, all relevant paperwork is saved to our secure server, and all movements of the consignment are tracked using our MISL Tracking App. This process is designed to ensure complete confidentiality and compliance with relevant regulations.
