WHAT IS CONFIDENTIAL DATA?
Confidential data can come in many forms.
Any data containing personal or company information should be securely destroyed, so you should dispose of it safely from your business before somebody else does.
Over 90% of prosecutions brought under the Data Protection Act in the last five years have been successful - so protecting the confidentiality of data during disposal has never been more important.
If data about your employees, past or present, customers, suppliers or any other personnel gets into the wrong hands, the impact can be catastrophic.
