In today's data-driven world, organizations are increasingly outsourcing their paper shredding and digital media destruction due to the ever-growing volume of data. However, the threat of data breaches looms, even for the most secure destruction providers.

If your chosen shredding and destruction service experiences a data breach and loses or compromises sensitive information like personally identifiable information (PII) or protected health information (PHI), your organization could face legal repercussions. Non-compliance fines and mandatory breach notification costs can be financially crippling, potentially leading to business bankruptcy. This is precisely why it's crucial for both you and your data destruction partner to be covered by data breach insurance – a type of coverage often omitted from typical professional liability policies.
