Document Storage and Secure Destruction

At ADSL we understand that security and confidentiality is of paramount importance to their clients and therefore, all of our processes and procedures from collection, tracking, storage and confidential destruction are geared to this. 

All of our client’s records are stored in our centrally located warehouses where we continue to protect and manage our client's records and data.

Our sites are conveniently located near to major transport links and away from any potential flood plains.

All physical and virtual documents held are covered under the Data Protection Act 1998.

Our shredding process is a high security shredding operation that currently services the Public and Private Sector in the UK in compliance with the security shredding standard BS EN 15713:2009.

The shredding equipment is located within a secure location and documents are confidentially cross-cut shred using the least harmful destruction method as part of our commitment to our ISO 14001:2004 environmental certification.

We only use our own CRB checked staff to process the shredding and security is ensured by the deployment of CCTV, security fenced premises and RedCare linked Intruder alarms.

Due to the nature of the records stored and scanned, all storage and scanning barcoded boxes go through rigorous quality checks which relate back to the original work-order prior to being transferred to the shredding location.

These checks are authorised by the Shredding Manager and transferred into the clearly marked shredding location.

ADSL confirm that no shredding is undertaken without written consent from the client.
