Document retention schedules.
How long to keep business records before you can safely shred them, and how to dispose of them properly when the time comes.
What the rule requires when you dispose of data.
Different records carry different retention obligations, from a few years for routine documents to much longer for tax, medical, and legal files.
Once a record reaches the end of its retention period, keeping it only adds risk. Shreddee shreds expired records on a one-time or recurring schedule, with a certificate for each purge.
