The following are definitions of industry words or terms also used in the i-SIGMA Certification Programs.
In the event that the Applicant location maintains its own commercial records storage center, and stores/stages Confidential Customer Media generated for destruction from that facility exclusively, the facility is NOT considered a Collection Facility. However, if a records storage center is also used to store Confidential Customer Media on an intermediary basis while in transit from customer location to a separate destruction facility, it is then classified as a Collection Facility.
A Collection Facility must meet all Operational Security requirements (see section 2 in the criteria) as a destruction facility with the exception of a CCTV monitoring and recording system.
