Home/Proof

Proof, not just promises.

Anyone can say it was destroyed. We prove it, witnessed on request, itemized, held under a documented chain of custody, and closed with a certificate of destruction on every job.

Overview

How we prove it.

Anyone can say material was destroyed or recycled responsibly. What matters is whether you can check. Every Shreddee job is built to be verified, not taken on trust: it is documented end to end and closed with a record you keep.

For destruction, that means the work can be witnessed on site, each item is itemized, and the job is closed with a certificate of destruction that states what was destroyed, how, and when. Off site, the same material is held under a documented chain of custody from collection to destruction.

For retired electronics, the data is destroyed first, then the hardware is recycled responsibly, environmental handling and downstream tracking so nothing is dumped, exported irresponsibly, or resold with data intact. See our electronics recycling service.

How every job is verified

  • Witnessed on site, on request
  • Certificate of destruction every job
  • Serial-level itemization
  • Documented chain of custody
  • Screened, vetted destruction staff
  • Data destroyed before any recycling
Certification

What NAID AAA is, and what to ask.

NAID AAA is a certification for destruction providers, run by i-SIGMA, a trade association for information destruction and records management. To use the name, a provider has to pass i-SIGMA's certification audits, including unannounced third-party audits.

Shreddee does not hold NAID AAA or any other third-party certification, and we will never say otherwise. What we offer is proof you can check on every job, set out above.

Whoever you hire, ask: which certification do you hold, and can I see the current certificate? Does it cover the services, media and location that will handle my material, and is it in date? Can I watch the destruction, or get a record of each item? What will the certificate of destruction state?

FAQ

How we prove it, explained.

Every job is documented and closed with a certificate of destruction that records what was destroyed, when, how, and by whom, with serial-level itemization available so each item is accounted for. You can also watch it happen on site. That paper trail, not a slogan, is how you verify it.

Yes. On-site and mobile destruction is done at your premises so your team can witness it from start to finish, which is what many security policies require. Off-site jobs are held under a documented chain of custody instead, and both close with a certificate.

Screened, vetted staff, working under a documented chain of custody from collection to destruction, so material is accounted for at every transfer and never left unsupervised. Nothing is photographed, resold, or discussed.

It is the signed record you receive for every job, stating what was destroyed, the method, the date, and who carried it out. It is the evidence auditors and regulators ask for, and it is issued whether the work is done on site or off.

It is a certification for secure destruction providers, run by i-SIGMA, a trade association for information destruction and records management. A provider can only call itself NAID AAA Certified after passing i-SIGMA's certification audits, including unannounced third-party audits.

Ask the provider for its current certificate. It names the services, media types and locations it covers and the dates it is valid. Then check it with i-SIGMA directly, and make sure the location that will handle your material is the one certified.

No. Shreddee holds no third-party certification. What we give you instead is proof on every job: destruction witnessed on request, serial-level itemization, a documented chain of custody and a certificate of destruction that states what was destroyed, how and when.
