DataShredder

DataShredder is Harvard University's preferred vendor to supply document destruction services to Harvard University and to provide best practice as it concerns security, customer service and environmental concerns. For more information on Harvard's policies and recommended business practices in these areas, please visit http://www.security.harvard.edu/ for security, http://grs.harvard.edu/ for the General Records Schedule, and http://www.greencampus.harvard.edu/ for environmental.
Every year, U.S. businesses and individuals lose billions of dollars to corporate fraud, identity theft and espionage. Most companies spend thousands of dollars protecting their confidential information. However, when no longer useful, that information ends up in a trashcan or a recycling bin where it is legally available to anyone. For over a year now, DataShredder has been offering Harvard University peace-of-mind knowing that their discarded information is properly destroyed.
