according to the new DIN 66399 data protection and security concept

The previous pages mainly dealt with information presentation in original size (data carrier “paper” etc.). Here are some examples from our comprehensive range of shredders,
In these modern times of communication, there are however numerous new data carriers, which are also
respected in the new DIN 66399. This is a short summary:

What is new about DIN 66399? Determination of the protection requirement Security levels according to DIN 66399 for

for example paper documents
The new DIN 66399 replaces the hitherto DIN 32757. The most significant changes are: In order to respect the principles of economic efficiency vis-a-vis appropriateness when destroying data, it is
necessary to categorise the data into protection classes. In this context, the degree of protection is crucial to the Recommended for instance for Material particle surface

security levels serve the classification of arising data.
