4 Information Security Solutions from Augusta Data Storage

The landscape of information security changes every day, and over the course of our 25 years in the records management industry, Augusta Data Storage has evolved to serve the various challenges that our customers face each day. We recognize that keeping your information safe is about more than providing a safe storage facility or even a safe destruction solution for your paper records, here are just some of the ways we can help you protect your records and maintain your information security standards.

 

 

  1. Secure Storage
    Our storage facility has over 100,000 sq.ft. of secure storage space. Our facility operates restricted access areas, which means access to your information is limited, even within our organization. Our storage solutions aren’t just for paper records. We also have a secure, climate controlled vault where we can store items like tapes, backup discs, and other temperature and moisture sensitive items. Our storage areas offer a secure and convenient alternative to renting unmonitored storage space for excess records.
  1. Secure Collection
    Did you know that waste and recycling collection bins are some of the top places that paper records are stolen from? Our destruction process uses secure collection containers, which limit the access to your records waiting for secure destruction.
  2. Secure Destruction
    If you are regularly handling personal information records, transaction records, financial documents, and other proprietary or personal information, you should be implementing a secure destruction process. Our Secure destruction services offer mobile or plant-based shredding and can be setup on a regular schedule, as a part of seasonal purge projects, or as a one-time destruction project. Once your documents are shredded we can create a certificate of destruction marking the date and time the information was securely destroyed, often a compliance requirement for many governing organizations. Our process is NAID AAA certified, and we are subject to random security audits to maintain our certification.
  3. Electronic Waste Solutions
    As digital information has grown, so have the needs for secure destruction of more than just paper records. In 2015 our organization implemented an E-Waste Solutions program which provides secure destruction for end-of-life electronics to eliminate the possibility of hacks or leaks from old computers, hard drives, back-up discs and more. Taking the appropriate steps to securely destroy your digital devices is the only way to be 100% sure your digital information will not end up in the wrong hands.

 

If you or your organization manages personal records or confidential information on a regular basis and you have not considered one or all of these services, give us a call to see how we can help you keep your information safe. Whether you are looking to protect your active or archived records, or need a secure way to destroy out-of-date information, Augusta Data Storage is dedicated to finding a secure solution customized to fit the unique needs of your business.
