Collection: Level 6/P-7 High Security Paper Shredders
High-security Level 6/P-7 shredders safely dispose of private and confidential information by shredding documents into pieces no larger than 5mm. This particle size ensures complete CUI compliance. Our NSA-approved shredders within this security level, which include brands like MBM, HSM, and Datastroyer, are trusted by government and businesses alike for total data protection.

Level 6/P-7 Standards
Engineered to meet or exceed NSA/CSS Specification 02-01, these tools reduce documents to particles no larger than 0.8mm x 5mm. This particle size allows classified, top-secret, or controlled data to be irreversibly destroyed. If your organization operates under FIPS 200, NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2, or similar compliance mandates, a Level 6/P-7 shredder is essential for sensitive information.
Performance and Compliance
Level 6/P-7 is more than a label, it represents machines built for real-world, sustained use. These shredders maintain high throughput (typically 7 sheets/pass to over 12) without sacrificing the microscopic particle size.
Created for continuous-duty operation, they are purpose-built for SCIFs, restricted access areas, military installations, and similarly high-stakes environments. Many models are NSA-evaluated, GSA-listed, and carry NSN designations. This simplifies procurement and assures compliance.
Applications Across Industries
While Level 6/P-7 shredders are fundamental in defense and federal operations, their value extends across sectors that demand rigorous information protection:
Healthcare - ensures compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, and patient data privacy.
Finance Legal -safeguards sensitive financial records, attorney-client privileged information, and complies with SOX and various laws.
R&D/ IP-Sensitive Organizations -protects trade secrets, proprietary research, designs, and innovation.
Advanced Engineering & Embedded Safety
These high-security shredders aren’t just about force. In fact, they offer engineered precision:
Automatic oiling systems or lubrication alerts to preserve blade integrity under continuous load.
-
Safety Protections Systems (SPS) and different operator safety features to minimize risk without slowing operations.
Energy-saving modes, rugged cutting cylinders, and precise feed mechanisms that reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. While mandated in defense and intelligence, Level 6/P-7 shredders are increasingly adopted in industries such as healthcare (HIPAA/HITECH compliance), finance, and legal (SOX/confidentiality), and R&D (intellectual property protection).
Both Level 5/P-6 shredders and Level 6/P-7 shredders offer very high-security, but Level 6/P-7 represents the strictest standard available. If your organization is bound by NSA, DoD, or other federal mandates for top-secret data destruction, a Level 6/P-7 shredder is required.
Many of our security level Level 6/P-7 models are NSA-evaluated, GSA-listed, and carry NSN (National Stock Number) assignments. This makes them compliant with federal procurement requirements and trusted for use in SCIFs and other secure spaces.
