How it works: Iron Mountain secure shredding & document destruction process
When you engage Iron Mountain’s secure shredding service, here is what you can expect.
First, Iron Mountain collects and transports your paper-based materials to a shredding plant, where they are processed and destroyed to a non-recoverable form using proprietary procedures and commercial-grade equipment.
With Iron Mountain's offsite shredding workflow process, all material is collected at your location and transported to an approved shredding plant. Depending on a variety of factors such as the proximity of the shredding plant and the volume of material moving through the workflow, collected material may be securely stored at an Iron Mountain Consolidation Centre prior to being transported to the shredding plant for final disposition.
All Iron Mountain customers are serviced directly by Iron Mountain or by an Iron Mountain-certified subcontractor. A listing of our geographic service areas and subcontractor service areas is available if contractually allowable on request.
The monthly invoice will be delivered to you after the materials have entered the shredding workflow process. A Certificate of Destruction will also be provided as part of your monthly invoice. Alternatively, you can download it on Iron Mountain ConnectTM.
When we take our documents and turn them over to Iron Mountain to shred, I really don't have anything to worry about…

Why shred your confidential documents?
The answer is simple: Shredding is the safest way to destroy unnecessary paper documents that contain confidential information.

- Declutter office
- Save time & reclaim space
- Protect employee and customer information
- Ensure your business is compliant with the law
- Grow customer confidence
For the following businesses, confidential document destruction and paper shredding is not just suggested, it’s the law.
- Healthcare organisations
- Law firms
- Financial service providers
- Establishments that deal with extremely confidential information
Challenges of implementing an internal document shredding policy
When it comes to purging sensitive business documents, companies will often try to take care of it themselves by implementing different shredding policies. By deploying a Selective Shred or Shred-All policy, your organisation may be taking the right approach – but incurring unnecessary risk.
Below, we outline the common challenges and potential data security risks associated with creating an independent shredding protocol for your business, and examine the limitations of both Selective Shred and Shred-All policies.
Establishing a secure shredding programme is a great first step, but simply implementing it is not enough. Regular monitoring is required to minimise risk, ensure ongoing compliance, and manage costs. If you are amongst the business leaders who understand the mission-critical importance of a secure shredding policy – but don’t want to incur the risk associated with a do-it-yourself strategy – then it’s time to consider partnering with a trusted provider like Iron Mountain Indonesia for document destruction.
Why engage secure paper shredding services?
Business documents and other media contain sensitive information that could become a liability to the company if they fell into the wrong hands. A secure shredding service gives you peace of mind that when you decide to purge your old documents, you are destroying them for good, with no chance of them resurfacing or finding their way into unlawful use.
Using a shredding service means you can skip the arduous process of creating policies and following up with employees to make sure they are adhered to. The contents that you would like destroyed will be done so legally and securely, adhering to the latest document destruction regulations. Iron Mountain Indonesia will also provide a certificate of destruction attesting to the fact that the information has been destroyed as required.
