The protection of sensitive data is essential in business daily life. Companies process confidential and personal data in both digital and printed form on a daily basis. Modernising and standardising the data protection law across Europe is also the aim of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force on 25 May 2018. Many regulations of the previous German Federal Data Protection Act have been extended and tightened. We have summarised the most important changes with regard to data protection for your convenience.

The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) itself does not contain any specific information on shredding data using shredders. This is laid down in DIN 66399 (ISO/IEC 21964), which specifies the

shredding of data carriers (paper, CDs, DVDs etc.) in accordance with data protection. DIN 66399 (ISO/IEC 21964) defines the protection classes, material classifications and security levels.

7 security levels

Shredding data in several security levels
Seven security levels for different material classifications have been defined in DIN 66399 (ISO/IEC 21964). A distinction is made within the security levels, more specifically in terms of particle sizes and the ability to reconstruct files. Find out which Dahle shredder suits your security needs.
