We're Frequently Asked.

What Is Secure Destruction?

It is the disposal of confidential waste, such as hard drives or highly sensitive documents, ensuring that no trace of the data contained is left.

What Is Confidential Waste?

Confidential waste refers to any type of information or material that contains sensitive or private information that needs to be protected from unauthorised access or disclosure.

This can include documents, files, records, digital media, or physical items that contain personal, financial, legal, or other confidential information. It's vital that confidential waste is handled and disposed of securely to prevent data breaches, identity theft, or other forms of unauthorised access that could potentially harm individuals or organisations.

How Can I Reduce The Risk & Cost Of A Data Breach?

By working alongside a professional confidential waste disposal company such as Avena, you’re ensuring that any personal and private waste is securely collected, destroyed and disposed of to the highest standards – absolving you of any potential risks, and therefore costs associated with the mishandling and possible misuse of the data.

Does Avena's Secure Destruction Help With GDPR Compliance?

Absolutely. Avena work to the highest standards when it comes to security and compliance and ensuring that your confidential waste is handled, destroyed and disposed of by people who understand the rules and regulations surrounding GDPR is vital to maintaining compliance and protecting your brand from potential infractions.

Is Evidence Of Secure Destruction Provided?

Always. Avena will issue an electronic note of secure destruction the following working day from when your confidential waste was collected. The destruction note will contain specifics on the quantity and type of confidential waste we collected, and confirmation that we’ve destroyed it securely – giving you and your business complete peace of mind.

How Much Does Secure Confidential Waste Disposal Cost?

As every business has varied requirements, it would be impossible to provide a quotation without a few details. Schedule a quick call with one of our specialists and they’ll be able to provide accurate costing information.
