Another term that you will come across in the shredding and data management industry is  “Approved Carrier”

The definition of an Approved Carrier is:

Third-party transportation contractor, which – after a review of policies and procedures – has been approved to transport information-bearing media for transfer or for final disposition.

This is so important for you, your sensitive data is being taken from your site to another place to be destroyed!

Make sure you audit your carriers and use a company such as Secure Data Recycling. If you are still concerned about your data being taken off site, Secure Data Recycling offer mobile data shredding services which can be carried out on your premises.
