Cintas Document Storage Locations Nationwide Earn Certification for Enhanced Security Measures

Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS), a leader in secure document management services, today announced that all of its document storage facilities have earned the Privacy Plus (Privacy+) Certification from the Professional Records and Information Services Management (PRISM) association, a global association for records management professionals. The Privacy+ certification helps ensure that document management companies store and maintain data in a manner consistent with industry standards while also protecting against unauthorized access or use that may result in harm to any customer.

"Businesses with the Privacy+ certification have demonstrated significant security control measures throughout all aspects of their operations, including visitor logs, risk assessments and control systems," said Sarah Koucky, Senior Director of Security and Compliance, Cintas Document Management. "We have taken extensive measures to meet and exceed its rigorous criteria and are pleased to hold this prestigious certification."

Privacy+ provides organizations with a means of staying u to date with evolving laws and regulations. It also provides a forum for sharing resources and best practices to reduce privacy breach risks. With the goal of preserving the reputation and trusted status of the document storage industry, the Privacy+ program recognizes companies that have implemented administrative, physical and technical safeguards that protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of client information.

To establish legislation and regulation informing requirements, Privacy+ uses recognized industry laws and standards such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI (News - Alert) DSS), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) as guidelines.

In addition to Privacy+ certification, Cintas document management facilities hold several other leading certifications. It was the first North American AAA NAID-certified and PCI DSS compliant document management provider.

Cintas offers personalized document management consultation, as well as secure document imaging, storage and shredding programs.
