We attribute much of the success of Assured to being locally owned and operated. When you call in for questions or a service request, you will speak to a real person that is as concerned about your account, as you are. Service is very important with Assured and we take every possible action to make sure our clients are 100% satisfied. Being locally owned and operated also keeps our prices very competitive as we do not pay any franchise fees or have large overhead. Many shredding companies are ill-equipped with only one or two trucks, and in the event of mechanical failure or simply a very large job they are unable to service you. This can put your company in a vulnerable security situation with overflowing containers and nowhere to place your unwanted documents. With a 12 truck fleet servicing Arizona and Nevada, be Assured we can respond quickly to our customers’ needs. Assured’s Services:

It’s a fact, that a single hard drive or a data tape can contain a warehouse full of confidential information. Criminals know this and that is why hard drives are becoming a growing source of identity theft. Erasing the data is not enough to ensure that it is gone. When these drives reach the end of their life-cycle it is important to make sure that the confidential information on the drive is protected. Assured offers non-paper destruction service in which the material is shredded and the data the drive contains is 100% destroyed, on or off-site. Assured can also include the scanning of each hard drive serial number, and provides a printed log of those serial numbers. As an additional service, we offer a four point of view video recording with a simultaneous recording of the serials number list, the security specialist processing the drives and list, the shred of the drives, and the aftermath of the shredded material. With this process you can be Assured of a complete chain of custody and be provided the proof that goes with it.
