One of the biggest issues facing individuals as well as businesses of all sizes are the double-edge sword of privacy and identity theft. Recognizing the growing need for professional, secure document destruction, two local entrepreneurs have brought Proshred Security® to the greater Philadelphia region.Locally owned and operated by Virginia Heron and Jim Doerr, business professionals with over 40 years combined experience and deep roots in the community, Proshred’s only business is shredding – and only at a client’s site. Document destruction at a client’s location ensures that private information stays that way.
Philadelphia-area business owners are only now beginning to realize the wide-ranging effects of recent federal legislation. Laws such as the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, the Financial Modernization Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, cover practically every business, large or small, in regards to document disposal. These laws require due diligence in ensuring all consumer (and employee) information is destroyed prior to disposal, and allows harsh penalties for those who do not comply.
Proshred boasts a fleet of boldly-branded red, white and black state-of-the-art trucks that are capable of destroying thousands of pounds of documents an hour. In addition, all of Proshred’s drivers are bonded, uniformed and security ID tagged customer service professionals who are background checked and highly-trained in the company’s rigorous standards.
