Why Media Destruction is Essential
Simply discarding or deleting data isn’t enough. Shredding media is the only way to permanently and securely destroy your data, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access. Our state-of-the-art, on-site media shredders ensure your data is securely destroyed at your location for complete peace of mind.
Compliance with Data Destruction Laws
Various data privacy regulations, such as FACTA and HIPAA, mandate secure destruction of sensitive information. Under FACTA’s “Disposal Provision,” businesses and individuals must maintain confidentiality throughout the disposal process to prevent data breaches, protect consumer information, and avoid regulatory penalties.
Many businesses and consumers mistakenly believe that destroying a hard drive is all it takes to protect their sensitive data. However, computers contain numerous other components that store confidential information and must be securely destroyed. These include SSDs (removable and integrated solid-state drives), flash media, micro media, motherboards, memory chips, flash drives, and even the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
In fact, there can be up to 11 additional data storage points within a single computer. Failing to properly dispose of these components when discarding a computer or hard drive can lead to serious security risks and potential data breaches. To ensure complete data protection, it’s essential to destroy all data-containing devices within your desktop or laptop securely.
