Helping the insurance sector provide peace of mind

The insurance industry provides protection and peace of mind to families and businesses the world over and is very keen to preserve a reputation for honest, transparent dealings. 

In turn, insurers seek peace of mind from their own suppliers, relying on accredited, secure services to ensure they remain compliant, efficient, and professional.

 Restore Datashred work with a range of leading insurance providers throughout the UK

At Restore Datashred we tailor our secure data shredding services to suit each individual insurance organisation. Working with you, we set up collection schedules and processes that guarantee the safe passage of your confidential information from office or storage facility to shredder blade and on into recycling. These are processes and safeguards we have designed to prevent data breaches and the potentially ruinous fines and reputational damage that go with them.

In the era of GDPR, large-scale controllers and handlers of information and paper are particularly interested in our on-site mobile shredding service. In our specially adapted vehicles, you can watch your confidential assets move from shredding bin on to shredding blade – it’s fast, safe and secure with no-one other than you and your Restore Datashred operative present.

What are the risks for insurance firms?

The insurance industry is huge, contributing £40billion to the UK economy per annum and providing approximately 325,000 jobs. It’s also a fast-moving industry, with a high level of mergers and acquisitions taking place and policyholders frequently switching providers.

Despite the pace of change, it’s an industry that still relies on paper for its transactions. Quotes, applications, policies, information documents, claims – the majority find their way on to paper and must be managed for compliance with GDPR. That means areas such as data portability, when a customer changes provider, the right to erasure and maintaining an accurate company retention and disposal policy are all areas of the data protection regulations that must be observed.

The Restore Datashred promise

We are committed to minimising our impact on the environment wherever possible and, as such, have implemented robust environmental targets. In the past three years we have reduced our fuel usage by 25% and are proud to boast a zero-landfill policy. We have a fleet of over 200 HGV’s which in the main comply with Euro 6 emissions standard.

Your security and confidentiality are our priority. We work closely with our customers to ensure that the highest standards of data protection are maintained. We provide a safe and secure solution for the shredding of confidential materials, including paper documents, archive records, ID cards, uniforms, hard drives, CDs, USB sticks and legacy media.
