Hybrid working brings new challenges for data protection. Confidential documents are created not only digitally but also on paper – both in the office and at home. To reliably protect sensitive data, clear rules and suitable shredders are essential. Companies that rely on security concepts that include document destruction not only ensure compliance with data protection requirements but also maintain the trust of their customers and employees.

Despite increasing digitalization, numerous paper documents containing sensitive information continue to be generated in everyday office life. These documents, like digital data, must be protected to comply with data protection regulations such as the GDPR. A professional document shredder closes an often overlooked security gap.

Modern industrial shredders enable the secure, efficient, and GDPR-compliant destruction of large volumes of data – from stacks of paper to entire file folders and digital storage media. They are ideal for companies with high destruction volumes and offer a professional alternative to standard devices thanks to their powerful technology, ease of use, and flexible disposal solutions.
