NAID AAA Certification Program
When it comes to service provider qualifications, choose the certification program with strength and integrity.
HIPAA Compliant
GLBA Compliant
When we say secure, we mean it. We are the perfect solution for banks and other financial institutions because we are compliant with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). GLBA obligates financial institutions providing financial products or services to guarantee the security and confidentiality of private customer information, including customer names, addresses, phone numbers and SSNs. To make compliance easy, we provide secure shredding for confidential documents, both on-site and drop-off shredding.
Audit Quality
All NAID-certified service providers are subject to regularly scheduled onsite audits by trained, accredited security professionals. In addition, random, unannounced audits are structured, so NAID-certified operators will not know when they will be audited next.
Regulatory Alignment
The program requires written policies and procedures for each company to ensure incident response preparedness, employee training and regulatory compliance.
Security Specifications
A customer may request an audit report to monitor the service provider and to ensure they meet the regulatory risk assessment requirements.
Free Compliance Monitoring
Customers may monitor compliance by subscribing to email notifications of the service provider’s certification renewal, audit or lapse.
Oversight
The Certification Review Board and the Certification Rules Committee oversee the program’s integrity, which contains industry veterans and outside accredited professionals.
Transparency
All documents and specifications are available to the public for free and online. Audit reports and monitoring services are also provided to clients at no charge. The association’s financial records and board of directors’ meeting minutes are also available online.
Recycling
When your documents are shredded with MIDCON Shredding, they will be recycled into reusable paper. MIDCON wants to ensure that we are environmentally friendly.
Because of the EPA’s and the state hazardous waste requirements, it can be difficult to properly dispose of your electronics. MIDCON Shredding properly deposes all the raw materials from the electronics after the hard drive has been physically destroyed.
Program Acceptance
More than 1,000 operations on five continents are certified by NAID, including mobile, plant-based, paper and computer destruction services. NAID certification is required by hundreds of government offices and thousands of private contracts.
Program Recognition
NAID certification is acknowledged by many accreditation programs, such as those offered by the International Association of IT Asset Managers, the Institute of Certified Records Managers and the R2 IT asset recycling program certification offered by the Sustainable Electronic Recycling Institute (SERI).
