Are You Compliant with New Information Privacy Acts?

New regulations require you to have a customer privacy policy in place. Your policy must include secure document retirement in order to be compliant with recent acts, including:

• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act)
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act
• The Patriot Act
• Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act

What is a Secure Document Retirement Policy?

Secure document retirement ensures that a discarded paper document or deleted electronic file is rendered unrecoverable. Most companies already have a policy to destroy paper documents, however, few companies have such a policy for electronic files. A compliant secure document retirement policy will ensure that both paper and electronic information are properly disposed of.

How Important is a Secure Document Retirement Policy?

A single improperly discarded computer or electronic file can contain hundreds or thousands of sensitive customer records. The failure of companies to properly discard customer information is contributing to one of the fastest growing crimes in the world: identity theft.
