What to Shred
Once you allow information to leave your Bethesda location—whether by depositing it in the trash or in the hands of a recycling company—you’ve lost control. Unfortunately, you open yourself or your business up to risk any time you carelessly discard a document with sensitive information on it. Businesses in Maryland can easily be faced with lawsuits on the grounds of mishandled information, even if the sharing of that information was entirely accidental.
