SECURITY
At BME we take the security of your documentation of your documentation very seriously. Not only do we guarantee the safety and confidentiality of your documentation but we also ensure the legal admissibility of all data that we convert.
By conforming to the British Standard BIP 0008 - the code of practice for Legal Admissibility and Evidential Weight of Information Stored Electronically we ensure that security is provided against unauthorised or undocumented changes to your electronic records through our audit process. We also provide a policy document stating the procedures used for the life cycle of your documents and in what form they are held - as advised by the code.
As so many of our customers are in the public sector - including the NHS and local authorities we ensure that our clients are able to meet the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. All of our security procedures are laid out in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, giving customers the peace of mind that their documents are safe. In accordance with the Act we are also able to provide services such as the removal of phone numbers for versions of documentation that may be placed in public view - such as on the Web. This also includes the secure destruction of scanned electronic records, when required through a certified bonded shredding company.
