Factors to consider when purchasing a shredder.
PDPA Singapore has strict regulations especially when dealing with sensitive customers’ information or even your personal information. You also wouldn’t want your accounting information to leak out to others right?
Some factors to consider when purchasing a shredder would be:
Cross cut shredding
Normal strip cut shredding can easily be pieced back and may result in identity theft. Cross cut shredding ensures that the documents are destroyed beyond recognition and recovery is close to impossible.
P-3 Security and above
Security levels are classified from P-1 to P-7 with P-7 being the finest. A minimum of P-3 shredding is usually recommended. Recyclingdotcom has a very informative article and even has actual particle sizing chart.
