Trust a GSA-Approved Shredding Company

TrueShred is a GSA-approved government record shredding company that manages the destruction of sensitive files in a way that adheres to strict local, state, and federal privacy laws, including FACTA, aka the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. When you need secure on- or off-site shredding service from a GSA-approved vendor, we ensure compliance and a proper audit trail for destroyed government files.

What Does It Mean To Be GSA-Approved?

The General Services Administration’s Multiple Award Schedule is a multi-billion contract vehicle that makes it easier for contractors to sell their products and services to government agencies. GSA-approved companies establish long-term contracts that include GSA pre-approved services, products, pricing, and terms and conditions.

GSA-approved contractors like TrueShred are recognized as experienced vendors that comply with environmental, socioeconomic, and other important regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the General Services Acquisition Manual.

The Importance of Secure Document Destruction for Government Agencies

The information contained in government documents is often highly sensitive. Benefits of secure document shredding include:

• Avoiding security breaches and identity theft.
• Mitigating legal action with data security and compliance.
• Enhancing productivity because employees do not perform the tedious task of shredding.
• Having the convenience of both on-site and off-site shredding solutions.
• Improved environmental responsibility through reduced refuse volume, electricity usage, and carbon footprint.

As the volume of paper and electronic records increases, government agencies find that outsourcing their shredding to a GSA-approved contractor that is also NAID AAA Certified is the best way to guarantee the PII in their records doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
