Keep Financial Records Compliant and Safe
Paper Records and Forms
When working within financial industries, it’s critical to properly dispose of any paper records used by employees and clients that have sensitive or Personally Identifiable Information (PII). SEM offers a variety of paper shredders and disintegrators that are compliant with both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Sarbanes Oxley (SOX).
Electronic Data and PII
Electronic data housed on HDDs, SSDs, and a wide variety of other electronic media can cause catastrophic damage in the event of a breach. SEM offers a variety of high security solutions that are capable of destroying any media, ensuring FTC, SOX, and any other required compliance.
Currency
As currency ages, it is regularly taken out of circulation and replaced. SEM disintegrator systems — like those used and trusted in the U.S Treasury, Federal Reserve, and other global financial institutions — efficiently and securely destroy currency in bulk to a consistent particle size as small as 2mm².
