In recognition of National Fraud Awareness Week, Neighborhood Parcel is joining the State and Federal efforts to raise awareness of the impacts of fraud and identity theft among Wilmington MA area residents by asking small business leaders to protect their client's identity information to protect against security breaches and potential identity theft.

Small businesses may be misguided in their understanding of the significant impacts of a data breach. Neighborhood Parcel Security survey revealed that only 36 percent of small business owners recognize the true cost of lost or stolen data. Jeopardizing client's data can have a devastating effect on small businesses and may even lead to bankruptcy as the financial penalties can be costly. HIPAA fines usually start around $4500 per violation!

National Fraud Awareness Week is led by the world's largest anti-fraud organization, The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, which aims to reduce fraud and identity theft worldwide as well as inspiring public confidence in the integrity and objectivity within the fraud protection industry. As part of the week, Neighborhood Parcel rolled out their newest Residential shredding service: Area residents and small businesses can now drop-off their material at their Tewksbury MA location and watch it shredded for as low as $1.69 /Lbs. Shredding sensitive documents can help protect customer's identity from falling in the wrong hands.
