FAQs

What are the shredder security levels?

Paper shredder security levels range from P-1 to P-7, with P-1 signifying the least secure and P-7 signifying the most secure shredder. P-1 and P-2 shredders are best for general shredding, whilst P-3 and P-4 shredders are more suitable for moderately confidential documents. P-5 shredders are used to destroy confidential business documents containing financial, strategic, and/or personal information. P-6 and P-7 shredders are of the utmost security level.

What is the highest security paper shredder?

The most secure shredders are Level 6/P-7 shredders, which effectively shred paper into nearly dust-sized particles. This extremely secure cut style is designed for top-secret government and military papers and is the gold standard for government entities seeking the highest level of confidentiality and security.

Is strip-shedding secure?

No. Strip-shedding does not make your business safe or compliant as it cuts paper into horizontal strips. This means that businesses are susceptible to possible data breaches as the small pieces of paper can be easily reassembled, either manually or using widely accessible computer software programs. Cross-cut and micro-cut shredders, sold by professional security companies, are substantially more effective, as they make reassembling documents virtually impossible.

Are cross-cut shredders or micro-cut shredders better for security?

Cross-cut shredders are classified at P-3 and P-4 security levels, making them less secure than micro-cut shredders, which are classified at P-5, P-6, and P-7 security levels. While micro-cut paper shredders are more expensive than cross-cut paper shredders, they offer the maximum level of protection, rendering them the best shredding solution for destroying government-level documents.
