English term or phrase: Pitch it
Ein Anbieter von Datenvernichtungsdienstleistungen gibt dem Kunden am Schluss seiner Broschüre (das Unternehmen bietet auch Konsolen zur Verwahrung sensiblder Daten an) einige Sicherheitstipps:

- Take stock: Know what types of confidential
information your business maintains
- Scale down: Keep only the information you need
for your business
Lock it up: Make sure the sensitive information you
keep is in a secure location
Plan ahead: Create a management plan in the
event a security breach does happen
**Pitch it**: Use a secure and documented shredding
process conducted by security experts

Mit "it" ist wohl das gesamte Sicherheitssystem gemeint. Meine Idee war bis jetzt: "Bringen Sie Ihr Sicherheitssystem auf Vordermann", was aber recht lang ist und womit ich nicht 100%ig zufrieden bin.

Hat jemand eine Idee?Danke!!!

vernichten


Explanation:
I'd say "pitch" here stems from pitching in baseball, i.e. throwing away. They want you to get rid of all the material to ensure confidentiality.

Wegwerfen!


Explanation:
Or am I missing something? That's the standard meaning, and yes, it's colloquial register; wenn's zum anderen passt, auch ruhig: (Einfach w...) Wegschmeißen / Weg damit!
