Secure Document Storage

Information management is governed by an ever-growing list of laws and regulations with which businesses must comply, or risk serious penalties. Secure document storage and retrieval is no longer an option - it is a necessary extension for every business. To ensure compliance and to protect your important information from prying eyes, theft, sabotage and damage, trust the 25 years experience and renowned customer service standard of Access Records.

Improve the Present and the Future

While it is devastating to think that you could lose the information on which your business is built, it does happen. By implementing a document storage and retrieval solution, you are not only future-proofing one of your business' most important assets but also streamlining your current business processes.

Secure Document Retrieval

Studies have shown that professional staff spend hours per week searching for important documents. Outsourcing your document storage and retrieval to Access Records means that your important documents are simply a phone call, fax or e-mail away. Our delivery vehicles are equipped with GPS monitoring enabling live tracking of a particular vehicle at any time. All our professional staff are bound by confidentiality agreements. With our state of the art scanning technology, we can even provide electronic delivery of documents direct to your desktop for situations when the original file is not required.

Tailored Information Management Solutions

Whether you need to lay your eyes on your documents within days, hours or even minutes, the friendly service team at Access can tailor a solution to support the entire lifecycle of the critical documents that flow through your business processes. For the ultimate in convenience and control, we even offer clients the latest technology for managing and accessing their records online - anytime, anywhere.

The Importance Of Secure Destruction A key part of the information lifecycle, secure document destruction is also a key part of our service. Across all workplaces - from hospitals and banks to real estate agencies and government offices - potentially sensitive documents are created every day. These are items that could prove problematic if not handed over to Access for secure document destruction, including:

• Accounting records
• Patient information
• Credit card information
• Payroll details
• Taxation records
• Medical records
• Marketing plans
• Legal documents

Protection & Compliance

Even if a document pertains to information that has become irrelevant to your company, it is a legal requirement that you securely destroy the file. If it is revealed that these regulations have not been complied with, your company could be severely penalised.

Tailored Document Destruction Solutions

We can help you ensure your company stays compliant with both your legal requirements and your information assets with monitored sentencing programs. As part of a closed loop process, locked receptacles can be supplied to your business premises on a casual or regular rotation basis for disposal of files that are no longer required. Under strict supervision, we can securely destroy your sensitive documents, issuing you with a certificate of destruction upon completion of the process. In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint we also ensure materials are recycled wherever possible.
