Why is a NAID AAA Certification important?
NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) sets rigorous standards for information destruction practices. Achieving NAID AAA Certification means that a shredding service has demonstrated compliance with these standards, including employee background checks, operational security, and destruction procedures.
