Data Destruction Services for the Education sector
You enable learning. We keep their information private.
School & University Document Shredding Services
The education sector is invaluable for the knowledge it provides. But to data thieves, schools, colleges and universities are also invaluable for the confidential information that is stored, on-site and online.
From employee and pupil records, to financial documents, old computers and disused hard drives, schools, colleges and universities are warehouses of sensitive information and data that needs to be protected.
Since the introduction of GDPR, how institutions collect, store and destroy data is only going to come under increased scrutiny.

Recommended Information Security Services for Schools and Universities
Protect your information with our data destruction services
Schools, colleges, and universities possess thousands of records of personal information – whether it’s confidential data on students, employees, or financial records. How your information is collected, stored, handled and destroyed can make-or-break your institution’s reputation.
But in an industry that is entrusted with the responsibility to protect its pupils, the reality is that many information breaches occur because of employee error, negligence or poor judgement.
You may be doing everything you can, but one employee accidentally placing a school report into the recycling can undo everything. So, with a quarter of risk stemming from inside your organisation, you need to ensure your employees know how to confidently identify, handle and securely dispose of confidential information.
Ensure GDPR compliance for Schools and Universities
Avoid fines and protect the reputation of your school, college or university with our world-class paper shredding and data destruction services.
Don't risk an information breach.
Any department that creates, collects, handles, stores and disposes of private and confidential information has legal requirements and regulations governing that data. Whether it’s employee documents, financial reports, or information about individual pupils, the laws designed to protect personal privacy come with strict rules and strong fines. We can help you stay compliant.
If you create, collect, or dispose of these types of documents, you and your organisation could be at-risk for an information breach:
- Student and pupil records
- Class lists and emergency contact numbers
- Civil Rights Data
- Financial Assistance Applications
- Business Financial Statements
- Tax Filings and Internal Audits
- Development Plans and Forecasts
- HR Records
- Employee Addresses
