A HIPAA compliant shredder ensures that documents containing personally identifiable information (PII) or personal health information (PHI) are destroyed so that sensitive data is unreadable, indecipherable, and impossible to reconstruct. While HIPAA laws don’t specifically mention shredding requirements, they do require reasonable actions to protect private data, including during disposal.
SecureScan’s mobile shredding service helps you avoid HIPAA violations by using cross-cut shredders, which offer much higher security than traditional office shredders.
