BS EN 15713 secure destruction of confidential information

• Framework – The standard provides organisations with a framework to following for managing, controlling and disposing of confidential information securely and safely, helping them to comply with legislation and minimise risks associated with confidential data leaks. 

• Competitive edge – Certification to this standard can provide organisations and its stakeholders with increased confidence that it has the appropriate processes and procedures in place for disposing of confidential material, providing organisations with that competitive edge.

• Reduction in reputational risk - Organisations that have the appropriate controls in place for disposing of confidential material, can feel secure in the knowledge that their reputational risks and the threat of fines from data protection regulators will be reduced.

• Easy integration – BE EN 15713 can be integrated with other management system standards, most commonly ISO 9001, but as a non UKAS-accredited standard, it can no longer be included in the scope of an accredited approval.  A separate non-accredited certificate will be issued.
