REISSWOLF’s core element is a closed service chain that plugs all security gaps.

Following in-depth consulting on data protection, archiving and disposal, we conclude with our customers an agreement based on their individual security concept. We then provide them with the required security containers that they can fill, knowing that they are protected from unauthorised access.

We only use vehicles with self-contained security structures for transporting the documents away. The containers are also emptied in sealed, monitored security locks. All the data media are then sorted into the various types and destroyed in accordance with DIN CEN 32757. We document each stage of the process and issue a confirmation certificate.

What’s more, provided the economic and technical requirements are available, virtually all the materials are recycled as industrial secondary products.
