What is NAID?

The National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) is a non-profit association formed in 1993 for purpose of educating business and government on the need for the proper and secure destruction of discarded information. NAID has gone on to develop rigid and comprehensive guidelines in its AAA Certification process.  NAID is now the recognized authority on secure information destruction and the NAID AAA Certification is the recognized standard for excellence in the information destruction industry.
