Mobile Shredding Services
Secure Mobile Shredding – Confidentiality That Travels
Toshiba Tech provides advanced mobile shredding services throughout South Africa, with a focus on Gauteng regions like Johannesburg and Pretoria. As a leader in digital office automation, we integrate shredding with our Toshiba copier and printer solutions for seamless efficiency.
Our shredding services include both on-site and off-site options, but mobile shredding stands out as the most convenient and secure choice. By bringing high-capacity shredders directly to your location, we eliminate the need for document transport, reducing risk and saving time. This service destroys sensitive paperwork in full compliance with POPIA, using advanced equipment that meets stringent P-4 security levels under DIN standards. The result is micro-cut particles smaller than 160 mm², offering exceptional protection for confidential information.
The Advantages of Shredding That Comes to You
Benefits include significantly reduced risk and improved operational efficiency. According to the 2023 IBM report, South Africa’s average data breach cost reached R82 million, based on adapted global figures. Mobile shredding helps prevent such losses by eliminating transport vulnerabilities, with industry benchmarks from NAID indicating an 85% reduction in potential breaches. Beyond security, this service also supports sustainability by lowering energy usage, aligning with eco-friendly practices such as Toshiba’s advanced copiers, which cut power consumption by up to 50%, contributing to greener business operations.
