Why the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is so vital for the data destruction industry
The BSIA is the UK’s trade association for the professional security industry. It has led and shaped the UK’s security industry for over 50 years. The association acts as the voice of professional security for all of the nation’s security sectors.
Amongst many other contributions to the UK’s security industry, the association was a driving force behind the introduction of EN 15713 shredding standards in the UK. These are the standards that all information destruction companies in the UK should adhere to when destroying confidential information on behalf of others. At Shred Station, we perform all of our operations in line with EN 15713 standards. This is something we are audited on as a BSIA member.
Shred Station and the BSIA
Shred Station is a certified BSIA member and has been since 2014.
The founder of Shred Station, Simon Franklin, was previously the elected Vice-Chair of the Information Destruction section in 2015. Since then, Shred Station’s involvement with the BSIA has grown and developed, displaying our commitment to innovation and thought leadership in the UK’s data destruction industry.
