HIPAA-compliant shredding.
Medical records and patient data shredded to HIPAA standards, witnessed and documented so your disposal stands up to an audit.
What the rule requires when you dispose of data.
HIPAA does not let you simply throw out protected health information. Records must be rendered essentially unreadable, indecipherable, and impossible to reconstruct. Improper disposal is one of the most common and most penalized HIPAA violations.
Shreddee shreds paper records and destroys the drives that hold patient data, and issues a certificate of destruction for every job.
What we destroy

What it comes down to.
Render it unreadable
PHI must be destroyed so it cannot be read or reconstructed, shredding paper, and destroying electronic media.
Stay accountable
Covered entities remain responsible for PHI through disposal, with agreements in place for any vendor who handles it.
Document it
You should be able to show what was destroyed, how, and when. A certificate of destruction provides that evidence.
The services that keep you compliant.
Document Destruction
Secure document shredding and destruction for business. Sensitive documents, contracts, and records shredded so they cannot be read or reconstructed, witnessed on request and certified every time.
Electronics & Data Destruction
Drives, devices, and media physically destroyed so data can never be recovered, no matter who comes looking. Certified on every job.
Product & Inventory Destruction
Excess, defective, recalled, and branded goods destroyed confidentially, so they never resurface or reach the grey market. Certified on every job.
HIPAA destruction questions.
PHI must be rendered unreadable and impossible to reconstruct. Shredding paper and destroying electronic media meet that standard; simply discarding records does not.
Not reliably. Physical destruction of the drive is the surest way to render electronic PHI unrecoverable and prove it.
Both. We can shred at your location so nothing leaves your premises intact, or collect it securely and shred it at our facility, whichever you prefer. Either way you get a certificate of destruction.
