Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes, with the number of victims rising by 31 per cent in the first three months of 2015 when compared with the year before. It can be a traumatic experience for victims of identity theft and even more so if they discover that this has been because someone got hold of their information from within an organisation where they believed it was secure.
So much information is held about us by public sector organisations, unfortunately everything a criminal might need to steal an identity may be all too readily available. It is, therefore, vital that trust is maintained by these organisations and documents are stored safely and out of reach of the people who could potentially sell or use this data.
Anglian Archives can help by providing safe, secure, off-site, fire resistant storage facilities for any files and documents you may need to keep due to statutory requirements. Our premises are monitored 24/7 for fire and intruders, and all staff are enhanced DBS checked to give you absolute peace of mind.
In addition to this, we can also provide back-up tape/disk rotation in respect of your disaster recovery plan so should you be the unfortunate victim of a natural disaster or the victim of ransomware, you can be sure that your historic data is preserved, uncorrupted and accessible.
As you would expect from a company whose business is storing confidential information for public and private sector organisations, we are certified by the Information Commissioners Office and are ISO 9001 accredited. In addition to this, we have found that we can very often save our customers thousands of pounds a year by freeing up valuable office space that was previously taken up by filing cabinets or boxes of documents.
‘Off site’ doesn’t mean ‘out of mind’ and that is why we offer our clients a document collection and delivery service, providing easy, fast and convenient access to stored documents. Other services include document storage, file retrieval, confidential shredding, scanning, archive boxes and back up tape/disk rotation
