Company Offers Online Legal Resource & Upcoming Educational Seminar
BOSTON, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:
IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, today
announced the launch of an online guide to help educate organizations about
the ever-growing state and federal statutes and regulations governing records
management and disposal. The resource, which will be updated regularly, is
available at: http://www.ironmountain.com/shreddinglaws.
In addition, Iron Mountain will be sponsoring an upcoming online seminar
"5 Easy Steps to Data Security Compliance" on May 17th at 11:00 a.m. Designed
to provide organizations with guidelines for reducing the risk, cost and
complexity of implementing a compliant information management and disposal
program, the seminar will feature Charles H. Kennedy, a data and privacy
protection expert and lawyer at Morrison & Foerster, LLP. Every seminar
attendee will receive a free copy of "Records Disposal and the Law: Trends to
Watch in 2006," authored by Mr. Kennedy, as well as a copy of his seminar
presentation. Registration is online at:
http://www.ironmountain.com/5easysteps.
"Due in part to increasing regulations, secure shredding has become a
necessary part of a company's compliant records management program and overall
data protection strategy," said Kennedy. "The growing number of state and
federal regulations governing information destruction and disposal can be
daunting to the most diligent of organizations, so the online legal resource
available from Iron Mountain should be invaluable."
One of the most sweeping information disposal regulations, the FACTA
Disposal Rule took effect June 1, 2005 and requires all public and private
organizations to implement and comply with "policies that require the burning,
pulverizing, or shredding of papers concerning consumer information so that
the information cannot practically be read or reconstructed."
"It's important that organizations choose a shredding service provider
that is knowledgeable about the laws and regulations that govern secure
destruction and disposal of sensitive information," said Barry Payne, senior
vice president of Iron Mountain's Secure Shredding business. "Through our
free online resource and educational seminar, we aim to help companies
navigate the ever-changing compliance landscape."
Iron Mountain's online shredding laws resource and data security
compliance seminar are announced in conjunction with the opening of Iron
Mountain's flagship shredding facility in Jersey City, NJ, which will serve
the tri-state area.
