How important is it that document destruction is certified?
The only acceptable method of discarding stored records is to destroy them by a method that ensures the information is unreadable. Documenting the exact date that a record is destroyed is a prudent and recommended legal precaution. RCI supplies a “certificate of destruction” via pdf or hard copy for every destruction project.
