When your business disposes of confidential records, secure destruction isn’t just a best practice, it’s a compliance requirement. To give you complete peace of mind, every service we provide at Vault includes a Certificate of Destruction. This document confirms that your sensitive information has been securely and professionally destroyed.
A Certificate of Destruction acts as formal proof that your documents, hard drives or digital media have been handled safely from start to finish. It’s one of the most important layers of protection your business can have when dealing with private or sensitive information.

How We Provide a Certificate of Destruction
At Vault, we issue a Certificate of Destruction for all services, including:
- On-site document shredding
- Off-site document destruction
For off-site services, your material is placed into secure lockable bins, transported in a locked vehicle and destroyed at our secure facility. Once the job is completed, the service is closed off with your details and your Certificate of Destruction is emailed directly to you.

Why Your Business Needs a Certificate of Destruction
1. Compliance and Legal Protection
Businesses across Australia are required to handle and dispose of confidential information properly. A Certificate of Destruction helps you demonstrate that your organisation has securely destroyed sensitive material, supporting audit requirements and privacy compliance.
We work with businesses in finance, legal, healthcare, logistics and many other industries where compliance is essential:
2. Protection From Data Breaches
Improper disposal can lead to identity theft, financial loss, stolen intellectual property or exposure of private information. Our secure processes, including locked bins, locked vehicles and controlled access facilities, minimise that risk.
Your Certificate of Destruction confirms that your material was completely and securely destroyed.

3. Full Transparency
Materials are stored securely, transported securely and processed in a controlled environment. Your certificate finalises the process and gives you a documented record of what was destroyed and when.
For ongoing services, these certificates also build a long-term history of compliance.
4. Confidence and Peace of Mind
We aim to make document destruction stress-free, professional, fast and secure.
Your Certificate of Destruction is the final reassurance that everything has been handled properly and that your sensitive information can no longer be accessed by anyone.

- Confirmation that destruction is complete
