FAQs
What is the NSA?
The National Security Organization (NSA) is a United States intelligence agency within the Department of Defense. It is responsible for cryptology, communications intelligence, and security and is headquartered in Fort Meade, Maryland. The objective of the agency is to safeguard and develop codes, ciphers, and other cryptology for the US military and other government agencies. Electronic and other technologies are also used to intercept, analyze, and decrypt coded communications.
What do NSA-approved paper shredders mean?
NSA-approved shredders refer to shredders that have been evaluated by the NSA and can safely destroy top-secret, private, and confidential information. Shredders must have a level P-7 security rating to be authorized by the NSA. This stipulates that after shredding, all federal CUI papers, such as FOUO (For Official Use Only), PII (Personal Identifiable Information), and SBU (Sensitive but Unclassified), must measure 1mm by 5mm or smaller.
What is the highest security level for a shredder?
Because they are NSA-approved for use at U.S. federal institutions and permanently destroy private data, paper shredders with the security level P-7 are the best shredders for extremely sensitive data protection. This is why U.S. military and government confidential materials must be destroyed at the P-7 level of security.
Why type of shredder cut does the NSA approve?
The NSA approves cross-cut or micro-cut shredders, which contain two blades that cut papers into incredibly small fragments. The result is a criss-cross cut rather than a straight down cut. This disintegrates the document into confetti, making it impossible to reassemble.
