Question

My company collects credit applications from customers. The form requires them to give us lots of financial information. Once we're finished with the application, we're careful to throw them away. Is that sufficient?

NO. Have a policy in place to ensure that sensitive paperwork is unreadable before you throw it away. Burn it, shred it, or pulverize it to make sure identity thieves can't steal it from your trash.
