National Assosiation for Information Destruction

The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) is the international trade association for companies providing information destruction services. NAID's mission is to promote the information destruction industry and the standards and ethics of its member companies.

The NAID Certification Program is offered on a voluntary basis to all NAID member companies providing information destruction services. Through the program, NAID members are certified through annual certification audits. In addition, NAID conducts unannounced audits randomly on 25% of certified members. The NAID Certification Program establishes standards for a secure destruction process including such areas as security, employee hiring and screening, operational destruction process, and insurance. All audits are performed by security professionals with the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) accreditation. The CPP accreditation is issued by the American Society for Industrial Security.

Beacon Secure was the first company in Arizona to receive NAID certification and is still the only company in southern Arizona that is NAID certified. Our AAA NAID certification gives you comfort that your confidential paper shredding is handled in a secure manner.
