PIKEVILLE — Shred- ALL Documents has announced that Tracy Syck is one of a limited number of information security professionals nationwide to be authorized as a distributor for a new Information Destruction Policy Compliance Toolkit.

The “Toolkit,” available free-of charge, is designed to help organizations develop the written information destruction procedures now required by law. According to the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), most organizations in the U.S. report that they currently do not comply with this requirement and, therefore, are at risk.

The Federal Trade Commission recently reached a settlement with an Illinois-based mortgage company for discarding personal information without first destroying it, resulting in a fine of $50,000. In the settlement, the FTC cited the absence of the required written policies and procedures as a basis for the penalty.

For more information on the NAID Information Destruction Policy Compliance Toolkit, contact Tracy Syck at Shred-ALL Documents by telephone at (877) 35-SHRED or by email at: info@shredalldocuments.com or tracysyck@setel.com.
