With WesTex Document you get the best in: Security.Our security operations are among the highest in the industry and actually meet Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA-1) requirements without restriction. As a former Police Chief, Federal Agent, and both military and Homeland Security expert - our owner's background in security, law enforcement, and counter-terrorism serves as the foundation for our operations. While we were the first company in Texas to earn "trade association" certification many years ago from the National Association of Information Destruction (NAID), we believe their standards no longer represent the higher standards that we set for ourselves and that which our customers have come to expect, and actually would have caused our failure to achieve NQA-1 standards. For further information on this decision you can read an article we published on the topic. Our business customers in the nuclear industry speaks to this level of achievement when we met their nuclear quality assurance (NQA-1). It is why we recently initiated steps towards accomplishment of the ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Standard for Information Security Management System. Information security is protection of information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize business risk, and maximize return on investments and business opportunities. Information is an asset that, like other important business assets, is essential to an organization's business and consequently needs to be suitably protected. Information security is achieved by implementing a suitable set of controls, including policies, processes, procedures, organizational structures and software and hardware functions. Information security is important to both public and private sector businesses, and to protect critical infrastructures. In both sectors, information security will function as an enabler and to reduce relevant risks. If we don't take it seriously internally, we can't help secure our customer's information. We spent over seven years in a national association's program and found it lacking in the levels of compliance we sought for ourselves and our customers. Our competitors are correct when they state we are not certified by their trade association. We made the strategic decision to no longer associated with it, choosing to meet the higher international standards and those of our customers in the nuclear industry.
