Document solutions and information management

Managing documents every day demands careful handling, dedicated resources and expert knowledge. Our comprehensive solution, from archiving and destruction to data protection consulting, ensures you are well prepared. 

Customized solutions for your needs

The management of documents, data and information is becoming increasingly complex and time-consuming for everyone involved because of numerous privacy regulations and laws. While software can help, many tasks related to storage, archiving and destruction still remain. As a full-service partner, we offer the support and advice you need through a broad range of services. We add value by making your work easier and by sharing our expertise in document handling with you.

Daily document management benefits

  • More space: Long retention periods and large file volumes often require significant storage space for archiving. You can free up this space by storing your files off-site in our high-security archives.
  • Privacy-compliant file preparation: From digitization to storage to destruction, we follow strict regulations at every step to ensure fully compliant processing.
  • Resource-efficient: Focus on your core business. By outsourcing parts of data processing and archiving, your employees gain more time and capacity for their everyday tasks.
  • Simplified processes: Find digital files quickly and easily anytime, anywhere.
  • File recovery: The latest technology allows us to recover your documents even after water damage. This ensures you stay protected and continue to meet your retention requirements.
  • Scalability: From individual folders to entire shelves, our document and information solutions can be scaled to fit your needs.

File Recovery

If water enters your archive, your data and documents can be lost forever. In this situation, it’s important to minimize the damage and restore access to your files quickly. We provide all the necessary services to recover your files according to the highest quality standards, from small volumes to large-scale losses.

File and media destruction

Once files have been stored in a legally compliant manner, the data needs to be destroyed just as securely. We take care of this at one of our Rhenus high-security locations or, thanks to mobile shredding vehicles, directly at your premises.

Data protection consulting

With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation and the related amendments to the German Federal Data Protection Act, new rules now apply in data protection and bring higher penalties for noncompliance. With our data protection consulting, which reviews your company’s processes, you can stay on the safe side.

Frequently asked questions

Our data center in Germany meets the highest security requirements for data protection. Our data centers are certified according to ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System).

In addition to data protection requirements, our archives are certified according to DIN ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, DIN 11799, GLP and GMP. You also benefit from a gatehouse service and access controls, video surveillance and motion detectors, a perimeter fence and locks for people and trucks to protect your documents from unauthorized access. Temperature and pest control further protect your documents from damage, while VdS-compliant fire and burglar alarm systems connected to the fire department and security guards, as well as fire protection systems, provide extra safety.

Our complete solution starts with the organization and planning of the entire project. The first step in digitization is transportation in a secure vehicle. We specialize in the transport of confidential documents and guarantee security through our own fleet of company vehicles. If required, the documents can be placed in sealable containers for additional protection. Once the documents reach the digitization site, they are prepared by de-stapling, flattening and removing any sticky notes. The documents are then scanned using high-performance scanners capable of reading any format with precision.

The turnaround time depends primarily on the scope of the project. However, it is guaranteed that the documents will be available when needed.
