The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID)

What is the quality of the physical security at the destruction facility?

Does the vendor have the proper insurance?

Are employees screened?

Do advertised claims match what is practiced?

Are there written policies and procedures… and are they followed?

Are materials destroyed in an appropriate timeframe?

Does the destruction equipment reduce the material to an acceptable particle size?

NAID is a non-profit association formed in 1993 with the sole purpose of educating business and government on the need for the destruction of discarded information. NAID’s membership is comprised of hundreds of companies worldwide and has grown to become the recognized authority on secure information destruction.

As a NAID Certified Information Destruction Contractor, Infoshred is committed to the highest standards in the industry.
It is easy to make claims and promises when no one is examining your business. As a NAID Certified Contractor Infoshred has gone beyond claims and promises by submitting to a close examination of every aspect of our security.

While NAID sets the criteria for certification, an impartial, independent security professional conducts the actual audit. Infoshred has attained certification by submitting for critical review our policy and document destruction procedure manuals, employment records, promotional materials, logs and paperwork to verify that they meet the certification requirements. Facility security, monitoring systems, on-site destruction equipment, off-site destruction equipment, and access control systems must also stand up to the auditor’s inspection. To maintain our Certification, Infoshred is audited annually.
