Confidential Waste Destruction

Our customers expect the highest levels of security and confidentiality at all times. At Northpoint we have therefore put in place processes that ensure this confidentiality is never compromised. In our offices we have locked confidential waste storage boxes, into which all confidential print-outs, CDs and printed email communications are placed when they have served their purpose. The boxes are also used for disposing of all shareholder or investor information. Under the data Protection Act 1998 Northpoint disposes of this information securely and lawfully by secure shredding. Our agent is the City of London whom we decided had the most secure and sustainable confidential waste service and which is fully compliant with British Standard BS8470.

This waste is collected regularly and then securely destroyed. All staff members are fully security checked (including the CRB) and Northpoint makes available monthly certificates of destruction. There is also a full audit trail for your peace of mind and, once shredded, all paper is sent for reprocessing and recycling in the UK, not overseas. You hopefully will be pleased to know that this paper is used to make office copier paper and toilet paper!
