There are several differences between Internal Shredding and Shred Confidential. The first is documented proof of material destruction. Internal shredding is done throughout the day as needed and leaves no paper trail. There is no proof that protocol and policies are followed, no way to indicate how much material is shredded at the end of the day, and no documents to show due diligence on the part of the company. There is room for doubt that may increase the risk of liability for employee actions, in mitigation, or in court. Shred Confidential provides an immediate print out of a shred certificate. The information included indicates which security containers were emptied, how much material was in each one, and the signature of the specialist who operated the mobile unit that did the shredding.
Cost-effectiveness and space are other differences between Internal Shredding and Shred Confidential. By the time a business supplies enough shredders to handle the material, finds space to house them, and dispose of the shredded paper, it can spend a small fortune. It is possible that outsourcing the task will cost less money for the business. It can also save the business time. Employees can focus on day to day operations of the business rather than have to take time out of the day to shred documents. There is also less risk of people viewing confidential information or misplacing documents that should be shredded. If someone is waiting to use the shredder, he can see information on sheets as they are going into the machine.
There are many companies that provide shredding services, so business owners should compare pricing, service options, and company capacity before deciding.

Container sizes vary, so a larger container may mean less frequent pick up and shredding of materials. Schedules can be adjusted depending on how much shredding is needed. If a business does very little shredding, for example, pick up can be arranged for every eight weeks. That accommodation to needs will help keep costs down and make services more efficient than internal shredding.
