What Is i-SIGMA and Why Does It Matter?
i-SIGMA (International Secure Information Governance & Management Association) is the world’s leading trade association for secure information destruction and IT asset disposition (ITAD) companies. Formed through the merger of NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) and PRISM International, i-SIGMA represents over 2,000 member companies across more than 30 countries.
The i-SIGMA AAA Certification program is the most comprehensive qualification in the data destruction industry. It evaluates every aspect of a company’s operations — from employee hiring and background screening to operational security, equipment standards, facility protections, insurance requirements, and chain of custody documentation. Certification is maintained through ongoing compliance monitored by both scheduled and unannounced audits conducted by independent third-party professionals.
For New Jersey businesses, working with an i-SIGMA certified provider offers critical protection. Federal regulations like HIPAA require covered entities to implement “reasonable safeguards” when destroying protected health information. FACTA mandates the proper disposal of consumer information. Using an i-SIGMA AAA Certified vendor like New Jersey Shredding demonstrates the highest level of due diligence — providing documented proof that you selected a vetted, audited destruction provider. This documentation is invaluable during compliance audits, regulatory investigations, or in the unfortunate event of a data breach.
