Industrial espionage and the theft of sensitive company data cost billions in damages every year in Germany. But huge losses can also arise in the office at home or in the rest of the house if personal files are handled all too carelessly.
The danger often lurks in a place that was previously paid far too little attention: in most cases, all data thieves need to do is take a look in the paper bin to find the keys to the castle.
To ensure that your confidential documents stay confidential, Hama suggests using a document shredder. |

| What you should be aware of when buying |
|
|
Cutter system:
Here you can choose from either a strip cutter or a cross cutter. Both systems use two counter-rotating rollers, which are equipped with razor-sharp wheels. Cross cutters additionally feature wavelike, metal edges on the wheels, which shred the paper strips up into tiny particles.

Security levels
DIN 32757 defines 5 different security levels. The levels are defined by the maximum size that the shredded pieces of document are allowed to be.
Generally speaking, the more confidential the document to be shredded, the higher the security level required.
|
| |
Strip cut |
Cross cut |
| Security level 1 |
max. 12 mm width |
|
| Security level 2 |
max. 6 mm width |
|
| Security level 3 |
max. 2 mm width |
max. 4 mm x 60mm |
| Security level 4 |
|
max. 2 mm x 15 mm |
| Security level 5 |
|
max. 0,8 mm x 15 mm |
|
| The higher the security level is, the finer the pieces of shredded paper are, making it much harder to reassemble the documents. In addition, the container for the shredded documents needs much less space, making trips to the paper bin less frequent. |
 |
|
Cutting capacity:
Even when it comes to cutting capacity, you shouldn’t leave anything to chance. The more the shredder is used, the more paper it should be able to process at a time. The top-of-the-line model „CCD 1526L” can take such a beating that it won’t break down even with as many as 15 sheets of paper at once.
|
|
Paper and more
Every model can deal with printed documents. But what do you do with CDs and DVDs containing sensitive data, which you want to get rid of for peace of mind? To this end, models such as the „CCD 1018L” offer an extra slot that cuts up the data media into three pieces. Not even plastic cards can stop models with the appropriate feature.
