Your Company’s Old Hard Drives—A Security Risk?
3 Top Reasons They Must Be Shredded
1. Manual Hard Drive Cleaning is Ineffective
Many companies use data wiping software or task their IT staff to delete old files off of hard drives in an attempt to clean the drive. These programs are not efficient enough to remove all data and can leave just enough information for a savvy hacker to gain sensitive information.
2. Secure Shredding is the Only Way to Guarantee Your Data is Safe
Having your old drives professionally destroyed is the only way to ensure 100% destruction, protecting your company’s confidential information. The shredding process leaves no trace of files, data or any other information that was previously stored on the drive. Donating or recycling old drives is not recommended as it can expose your business to data theft, which puts you at risk for liability and losses.
3. Professional Shredding Process is Quick, Efficient & Convenient
Using a licensed, insured and certified shredding and destruction company to destroy old hard drives and devices ensures that the process is easy, quick and efficient. The equipment used permanently destroys the drives, and mobile shredding providers come to your office to perform the shred. Because the service is done onsite, you are able to witness the process and receive a certificate of destruction, giving you peace of mind that your sensitive information is safe.
Remaining compliant with local, state and federal requirements is key to your success, and this includes destroying old hard drives that contain private information—including company files, customer’s personal data, credit, bank and insurance information and more.
