Identity theft. It’s worldwide, and it’s one of the fastest growing crimes. According to the Javelin Strategy & Research, statistics show that more than 11.6 million adults became a victim of identity fraud in the United States in 2011, a 13 percent increase from the year before. Credit cards, debit cards and social security numbers are the most common items exposed. Many consumers become the victim of identify fraud due to the exposure of their personal information. According to statistics, between 2005 and 2009, nearly 500 million consumers whose personal and financial data was exposed, was due to a corporate data breach. What is being done to protect your personal information? Confidential Data Destruction Company, located in Santa Clarita, is the solution. “Our company has been around for the last six years, destroying confidential data, helping companies adhere to federal privacy laws,” states President Steve Sturgeon. “We destroy all types of confidential material, including paper documents, file folders, electronics such as computers, storage media, cd’s, videos, even uniforms. Our company has grown to well over 4,000 customers over the last six years.” “We started locally, but quickly garnered both the government and private industry businesses,” states Steve. “We help companies adhere to federal law to help destroy the consumers’ personal information properly.” Confidential Data Destruction Company offers shredding services on a daily, weekly, monthly or on call basis, whatever your business requires, and serves all cities from Santa Barbara to Santa Ana, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, Antelope and San Fernando Valleys. From small businesses to large Fortune 500 companies, customers can choose their frequency of service based on their individual needs. “We can gage how much paper a company can produce based upon the number of employees. An average employee uses about a half a pound of paper per week.” “We help companies destroy unwanted, out-of-date, and confidential materials in a secure, environmentally friendly manner. We will shred on site, using one of our shredding trucks. Each truck holds five and a half tons, and on a single day, we can shred over 20 tons.” Confidential Data Destruction is also aware of the environmental impact they have. “Right now, we shred about 200 tons a month,” states Steve. “Every ton we shred saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 2.5 tons greenhouse gasses, 3.3 cubic yards landfill space, and 4100 kw electricity.” Confidential Data Destruction Company is located at 28042 Avenue Stanford, Unit E in Valencia. CDDC is a division of AVM Technologies, Inc., a computer and software leader for over 30 years. “We recognize that identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes,” states Steve. “We are here to help businesses destroy confidential materials, ultimately protecting the company as well as the consumers.
