Stronghold Jamaica - new record destruction service

Stronghold Data Solutions (www.strongholdsolutions.com) , a regional records management that offers a full range of records management solutions, has expanded its business to include secure document destruction in Jamaica.



Stronghold has recently installed a new state-of-the-art industrial shredder at its Kingston facility at Retirement Crescent.

Operations Manager Clive Christie highlighted that Stronghold has had an overwhelming response from their customer base to provide a “onestop-shop” approach towards records management as they wanted one point of contact and accountability for the preparation of records, the physical storage of documents, digital conversion and secure document destruction.

Christie explained that “accountability, trust and transparency is vital to our business and as such we have devised a systematic process which begins at the initial pickup all the through to the actual destruction”. “Stronghold will collect documents directly from client location where each item is bar-coded and tracked by Stronghold’s content management system to provide detailed item auditing and exact time of destruction. Efficient workflows ensure documents marked for destruction are processed in a secure and timely manner and Stronghold can provide Certificates of Destruction for confirmation. Clients are also able to view the destruction process if required.

Now, in addition to storing physical records for clients in a controlled and secure environment ensuring easy and fast retrieval, both physically and electronically, Stronghold Data Solutions can now fully manage workflow and retention schedules by providing onsite secure document destruction for its clients.

Additionally, along with range of services provided by the records management company, Stronghold Data Solutions also offers a unique service known as the Secure Shred Bin service. This is a secure, convenient and safe way of storing and discarding your unwanted, confidential documents daily.
Stronghold Data Solutions at the client’s request will provide a tamper proof key locked container, which will be placed at a central point in a client’s facility. When full Stronghold will retrieve and destroy all items in these containers.

Stronghold Data Solutions also has a presence in the Caribbean through its partnership with Trinidad’s market leader Chapman’s Records Management. Chapman’s and Stronghold Data Solutions provide one regional service from its Jamaica and Trinidad hubs.
