Privacy Legislation and Scanning Services
Full Compliance With Current Privacy Legislation
Businesses and institutions have a legal and ethical duty to protect private information, adhering to various privacy legislation. Complying with privacy laws is essential for defending against identity theft and corporate espionage.
Securely Digitizing Sensitive Documents
Adopting an electronic management system starts with proper digitization. Ensuring security and compliance during this process is critical. Laws like HIPAA and HITECH provide guidelines that cover secure document conversion, file storage, metadata, retention, and user access. These guidelines help businesses stay compliant with privacy laws.
Staying Up-To-Date With Recent Changes
Federal and state laws frequently change, impacting corporate liability. Every business is responsible for protecting private information from collection until its proper disposal. This responsibility extends to all companies, from small businesses to large corporations.
Securely Disposing Of Sensitive Documents
Disposing of documents securely is crucial for compliance with privacy laws. The FACTA Disposal Rule of 2005 requires businesses to take "reasonable measures" to prevent unauthorized access during disposal. These measures include shredding, pulverizing, or burning documents so they cannot be reconstructed.
Privacy Legislation By Industry
Businesses must understand the specific privacy laws that apply to their industry. For example, the Economic Espionage Act (EEA) and Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act (ITPE) apply to many organizations. Additionally, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) governs the healthcare industry, and the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA) applies to the financial sector.
State Information Privacy Laws
Privacy laws can also vary by location. While state legislation covers broad compliance measures, many states have specific laws that define procedures and policies for protecting sensitive information.

They brought a truck to our office to shred about 2 dozen boxes of filing at once. At every stage it is quick and painless, and the price is reasonable. I do recommend having your documents in boxes. I plan to keep working with them! read less
