The Seven Steps of Shredding.

Imagine you are Industriespion and you are watching a very hot track. It is rumored that the competition has developed a new product that will revolutionize the entire market, and you're close at hand. Because you have just pulled so far a six in the lottery. You've got a bag of papers, which comes from a normal shredder of the competition company. Now the puzzling starts. In tedious minor work, you assemble document around document.

Data are not equal data, there are different levels of confidentiality, which should be taken into consideration during the destruction.

After you have reconstructed only a series of informal, internal correspondence, you suddenly become quite restless. In front of you is the design drawing of the said product. Bingo! You have reached your goal and the competing company will now be in trouble. This could be the case if you did not pay attention to the different safety levels when you destroyed confidential files and simply disposed of them in any shredder. Because data is not equal data, there are different levels of confidentiality, which should be taken into consideration during the destruction. For this reason, a DIN standard was introduced for file shredding, which classifies data into seven different security levels and recommends an annihilation recommendation for each level.

P-1

It begins with step B1 for general data. A strip width of 12 mm is recommended, but the data can be reproduced with a simple effort.

P-2

It is already more difficult with P-2 with a strip width of up to 6 mm. Here one needs special effort for the reproduction.

P-3

From stage P-3, one no longer speaks of stripes, but of particles, which in this stage for sensitive data may be a maximum of 320 mm². It takes considerable effort to restore this data.

P-4

But we're not even halfway through the steps. For particularly sensitive data, step P-4 is provided with a particle size of 160 mm² at most. Reproduction is only possible with exceptional effort.

P-5

From P5, the secrecy zone starts, the particles are small up to 30 mm² and reconstruction is only possible with doubtful methods.

P-6 and P-7

The levels P-6 and P-7 are used in secret and Top Secret high-security data and are each 10 or 5 mm² small, so that they can only be perceived as dust. Reproduction is technically final. So you can see that the issue of file shredding can be quite complex. By the way, Dahle offers robust and efficient document shredders for all levels, with which you are always on the safe side, whether you only want to dispose of your daily correspondence or top secret data.
