Trusted NAID AAA Certified Shredding Throughout Seattle and Western Washington


For over 36 years, Pacific Northwest Shredding has been Seattle’s trusted authority in NAID certified shredding and secure information destruction. Founded in 1989 by Mark Guarin Mamon, this minority-owned, family-run business has provided incident-free mobile shredding services to more than 600 client-customers across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties—without a single security breach or compliance failure.


Our mission is simple:
 “To be the most trusted, secure, compliant, and cost-effective mobile document destruction service provider.”



When you “NAID your organization,” you’re not just choosing a shredding service—you’re choosing regulatory compliance and verified data protection.

What NAID AAA Certification Means

NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) represents the international gold standard for secure information destruction.


The AAA Certification is the highest level available, achieved only through rigorous audits, strict operational standards, and third-party verification of compliance.


To maintain our certification, Pacific Northwest Shredding undergoes regular unannounced audits ensuring every policy, employee, and piece of equipment meets NAID AAA requirements. This certification is trusted by government agencies, healthcare institutions, and financial organizations across the nation.



Key certification requirements include:

  • Comprehensive background checks (7 years, county-by-county)

  • Employment verification and drug screening

  • Confidentiality agreements signed by every employee

  • Written NAID-compliant procedures for material handling

  • Shredding equipment meeting OEM specifications of 5/8" cutter width or less

  • Secure vehicles with lockable compartments and GPS tracking

  • Documented Chain of Custody from pickup through destruction

When you choose an NAID AAA Certified shredding company, you gain more than secure document destruction—you gain independent verification that your data is protected to the highest possible standard.

Why NAID Certification Matters


Choosing a certified shredding company isn’t about checking a box—it’s about protecting your business, employees, and clients from risk.


NAID AAA certification matters because it provides proof, not promises, of secure handling.



Benefits include:

  • Third-party verified security (not self-certified)

  • Regular audits ensuring consistent compliance

  • Regulatory confidence—meets HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA standards

  • Audit trails with Certificates of Destruction

  • Reduced liability through documented compliance

  • Peace of mind knowing your provider is independently verified

That’s why government agencies, hospitals, and corporations across Seattle require NAID AAA certification—and why they trust Pacific Northwest Shredding.
