Document destruction

Strategic importance of document shredding

Document shredding means the destruction of documents in physical form, carried out to protect confidential or sensitive information. The proper implementation of the process is essential to ensure business, legal and personal data protection. Thus, document shredding is not only a technical process, but also an activity of strategic importance. It has a direct impact on the information security of our partners (offices, institutions, small/multinational companies and individuals), given that the documents handled often contain confidential information the disclosure of which may have serious legal and financial consequences. As set out above, the professional destruction of documents is essential to maintain a competitive advantage, is key to protecting confidential information, and ensures that the organisation complies with data protection regulations.

At Ladó-Rec Kft., we apply a strict protocol to ensure that our clients’ information remains secure until it is destroyed. From the receipt of documents until the completion of the document shredding process, we continuously check that each stage complies with the highest industry and data protection rules and standards.

The document shredding process

The process consists of the following steps:

1. Request for offer: A request for offer from our clients initiates the process.
2. Offer preparation and consulting: Our staff make a detailed offer regarding our document shredding service, taking into account the data protection regulations.
3. Placing an order: The clients confirm their order, agreeing the details.
4. Organisation of transport: We transport documents from the site through a carefully planned logistics process.
5. Logistics: We transport documents from the site through a carefully planned logistics process.
6. Pre-treatment: The documents are separated by material quality through manual sorting, after the removal of foreign materials. The different types of paper are shredded after sorting, and, finally, compacted bales are made from the shredded documents.
7. Administration: During the process, we document all steps, thus ensuring process transparency.
8. Recycling: The waste pre-treated by our company is handed over to a paper mill as a recyclable material so that it can be turned into paper again, thus helping circulation.

This process ensures that document shredding is carried out in a fully secure, traceable and properly documented manner, complying with the highest data protection and information security regulations.

Social and legislative context

Document shredding is not only an internal process, but also part of a broader social and legal context. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Hungarian data protection laws set strict regulations for information management and destruction. At our company, we continuously monitor changes in the legislative environment during the destruction process and regularly update our procedures to ensure that they comply with the latest data protection requirements at all times.
