INFORMATION SECURITY ACCREDITATION - ISO27001We are delighted to announce that we have secured the ISO 27001 Information Security Management accreditation to add to our current certificates – ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. This means we now have an integrated management system applicable to all our procedures and processes combining all 4 international standards.

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised, best practice framework for an information security management system. It assists us to identify and put measures in place to reduce the information security risks - both physically and electronically - whilst showing that we handle all information and data securely, and in line with current Data Protection laws. This applies to all data relating to our employees, clients, as well as the confidential waste we process on our customers behalf, and this is further evidence that we are GDPR compliant. With this in mind you can trust Highlander with your confidential waste destruction needs as our services ARE MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN A GREAT WHITE.

GDPR / DATA PROTECTION LEGISLATION - YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES Receiving a fine from a data breach would result in serious reputational damage to any business and therefore, it is VITAL that all companies are fully GDPR compliant. This is where we can help you, as we are the leading document destruction company in Scotland, offering complete, bespoke shredding solutions to customers throughout the country. We are ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 27001 accredited, as well as being members of the United Kingdom Security Shredding Association and a nominated suppler of the Law Society of Scotland and Scottish Federation of Housing Associations.

The key changes when GDPR came into place, is that tougher fines will be issued to companies for breaches or non-compliance and it also gives individuals more power and say on what happens to their data. At Highlander, we are determined to make sure all your obligations are discharged from a data shredding and destruction perspective! GDPR applies to both manual filing systems, as well as electronic, automated forms of data so it is imperative that every business has sound control and audit trail processes in place, and this is where we can help, when it comes to the destruction of manual, hard copy, paper versions.

Are you as a business, aware of how long you should be keeping certain data for? More importantly, are you aware that you will not be legally compliant with GDPR if you are storing information for longer than is required? This opens up the risk of a security breach and in turn, new tougher fines by the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) of up to £17M or 4% of the companies worldwide annual turnover, following implementation of the GDPR.

For everyday confidential data that is generated it’s important as a company that you have a secure, safe and reliable way to store this information until the point of collection and shredding. We offer a range of service options to ensure compliance with the law, including secure, lockable cabinets as well as locked, wheeled bins. If you have been holding on to files and documents that are no longer required then don’t delay – contact one of our friendly and helpful shredding advisors today for further information on GDPR, and the services we offer to help your business comply with the law at ALL TIMES!
