Services

Security First Shredding offers the following services:

Security
On-site document destruction service is the safest, most secure, and convenient means of disposing of your sensitive documents. Our bonded uniformed employees will take a customer’s classified documents from the security bins that we provide for the office directly to the mobile shredding unit where the materials will be destroyed.

Efficiency
The high-speed shredders mounted on our trucks are 40 times faster than most office shredders, reducing a customer’s cost of shredding by over 25%.

On-site destruction services
Security First Shredding will provide security bins to be placed throughout the office area. These bins have a built in lock to ensure documents cannot be removed without a key. The material will be destroyed on-site and the shredded paper will then be taken to our facility where it will be recycled.

Off-site destruction services
Security First Shredding also offers off-site document destruction. We will still supply the customer with security bins but the materials will be brought back to our facility to be shredded. In addition to the security consoles for the office, we offer 65-gallon schafer containers. These schaefer containers are used for high volume areas. Customers with large volumes of paper find this to be the most economical way to handle classified materials.

A certificate of destruction will be provided with each invoice.

Market Analysis Summary

Theft, vandalism, and industrial espionage are becoming ever increasing security problems. There are too many horror stories resulting from confidential information getting into the wrong hands. Today’s information explosion can be devastating to a business. With the increased use of office copiers and computers, staggering amounts of sensitive information is being generated and carelessly discarded.

Outdated or inactive company files can also become damaging once they have reached their legal limit of retention. Shredding this information protects a company against potential lawsuits.

The supreme court has ruled that information in the trash is “fair game” to anyone. Privacy laws make any company vulnerable to law suits when personal records are disclosed to outsiders–even by accident.

The 1974 federal privacy act was established to ensure that government agencies protect the privacy of individuals and businesses with regard to information held by them and to hold these agencies liable if any information is released without authorization.

It is estimated that corporate espionage costs U.S. businesses over $7 billion in losses yearly. It’s believed that one in four American adults have been defrauded in various identify theft schemes.

A company’s trash is a great source of a financial and personal catastrophe. It’s an unimaginable nightmare for most people, and a nefarious windfall for the growing ranks of corporate scavengers and identity thieves currently farming america’s trash.

Large corporations have internal disposal systems to protect themselves, but small to second tier companies typically have poor or inefficient systems in place.  Madison has 3,000 businesses and companies that have potential need for a document disposal service.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Security First Shredding will focus on the following target customers:

  • Small Businesses and Companies: These companies have 10 to 25 employees. They represent a significant market since internal document disposal is not cost-effective or efficient. Outsourcing disposal services is a excellent solution that will reduce the business disposal costs by 25%.
  • Second Tier Companies: These companies have over 100+ employees. Record disposal is quickly becoming a important concern and is usually poorly organized and inefficient.  Outsourcing disposal services can cap costs and improve the efficiency of the process.

Small Companies 4% 2,300 2,392 2,488 2,588 2,692 4.01%

Total 3.33% 3,000 3,099 3,202 3,309 3,420 3.33%

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Security First Shredding will market an annual service contract at a 20% discount to small companies and a 15% discount to medium-size companies. We will offer a free on-site survey of the company’s facility to determine the company’s exact needs.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Security First Shredding’s competitive edge is our quick response to a customer’s request for services. Security First Shredding will respond within 24 hours of a request by a company for record shredding services.  Our disposal trucks shred documents twice as fast as our competitors and has a greater load capacity.

Most importantly, Janet Wilson’s leadership is a tremendous competitive advantage.  She was the top salesperson for both Shredd-All and Capital Shredding when she was with those companies.  Her strength is her ability to use the assessment as a sales tool to demonstrate savings and promote the company’s services.

5.2 Sales Strategy

Security First Shredding’s sales strategy is to offer a free on-site disposal survey of the company’s facility.  Janet Wilson, who performed such surveys with both Shredd-All and Capital Shredding in New York, will supervise the assessment.  We anticipate that first month sales will be flat.  Sales will pick up quickly in the second month.
