i-Sigma vs NAID

What is i-SIGMA (International Secure Information Governance & Management Association)?

i-SIGMA is the umbrella organization that oversees NAID and PRISM International. It was formed in 2018 when NAID merged with PRISM International, a group specializing in records management and information governance.

i-SIGMA’s role is to:
✔ Oversee NAID and enforce industry standards.
✔ Regulate best practices for data destruction and records management.
✔ Advocate for privacy laws and compliance standards worldwide.

What is NAID (National Association for Information Destruction)?

NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) was established to ensure that document shredding, hard drive destruction, and media disposal companies follow strict security protocols. It now falls under the governing umbrella of i-Sigma.
