PROSHRED Security San Francisco is dedicated to document, hard disk drive, media, and product-shredding services provided to clients on-site at their businesses and homes. The company’s services help businesses and local residents in the entire San Francisco Bay Area securely safeguard private information, maintain legislative compliance, and protect their public image.

Companies that use corporate logo apparel, create patented products, or have outdated products should consider destroying those products to protect their organizations. Unused or discarded products such as uniforms, compact discs, hard drives, films, recalled and defective products, apparel and footwear, used protective gear, packaging, sporting goods, gambling chips, and other products with company logos may become a security risk, according to company officials.

“Similar to paper shredding, product destruction destroys items that could pose a risk to your business if thrown in the trash. With product destruction, these items are shredded and incinerated to ensure they cannot be stolen or used for nefarious purposes by people outside your organization,” note officials.

PROSHRED is the only ISO 9001:2008 certified and NAID AAA certified mobile shredding company in North America, according to the owners. That means that qualified ISO 9001 and NAID AAA Certified Technicians manage the product destruction process. Customers can monitor the specialty shredding processing by video and see that all materials are securely shredded. Afterwards, PROSHRED provides customers with a certificate of destruction.

“Our goal is to take the worry out of shredding,” says Office Manager Angel Thompson, whose husband, Michael, owns the company. “Whether it be documents, hard drives, or old family photos, we want you to have peace of mind that it is being destroyed securely and properly. We are here to support your information destruction needs, no matter how small or how large or unique the job may be.”

The company also offers one-time shredding services, ongoing shredding, and drop-off services. No contracts or fuel surcharges are required for one-time shredding services for businesses and individuals dealing with a clean up, for example. Ongoing services are useful for companies dealing with sensitive information on an ongoing basis. For many customers, PROSHRED paper shredding professionals perform a security audit and then develop a document shredding service based on a daily, weekly, or monthly on-site shredding schedule to meet customer needs. Drop-off shredding services are “ideal for small businesses and residents as they are convenient and more affordable for smaller projects,” officials say. “Most drop-off shredding services are completed on the same day and do not require an appointment.”

Two qualities set PROSHRED apart: customer service and customizing services to meet the changing needs of customers in a fluid world, according to Thompson. Recently, for example, a new customer needed a shredding bin to be delivered on an emergency basis because a different company had failed to show up. “We were fully booked but I decided to load the bin myself and deliver it to the customer to ease their stress,” says Thompson. “Small gestures go a long way.”

The company opened its Hacienda headquarters in October 2012 because Thompson and her husband loved Hacienda’s proximity to their home. PROSHRED’s many customers have included Santa Clara University, Texas Instruments, the U.S. Coast Guard, FedEx, Visa, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Amazon.
