Companies today are efficiently utilizing electronic data storage and management systems to become paperless. A single hard disc can hold immense sensitive materials. An organization’s hard drives and electronic storage systems store massive financial records, personal data and even customers’ sensitive information. To dispose of the hard drives, you may erase your devices or hire professionals to overwrite the files. However, none of these methods is as secure as you would like!

Ineffective data destruction can leave the hard-drive tracks intact, making it easy to recover.

Physical destruction is the only technique to ensure the removal of all confidential information from hard disks.Although secure destruction of hard drives may seem like an additional expense for your company, here’s how it benefits you:

Protects confidential data – With every improper disposal of an old hard drive, the risk of a data breach increases. Hard discs store almost everything, including operating systems, software, client or patient data, financials, trade secrets and other confidential data, making them an enormous security liability. A trusted hard drive destruction method protects your business, your clients and your reputation from the risk of data theft.

Ensures compliance with privacy regulations – Investing in secure hard drive destruction protects your company from possible non-compliance. Diligent electronic media destruction helps companies comply with government privacy laws. Professional hard drive and media destruction companies provide the secure destruction of confidential information from old computers, hard drives, photocopiers, printer hard drives, CDs, flash drives, magnetic tapes and more. 

Protects the environment – Like any other e-waste, hard drives are toxic. Hard drives contain trace amounts of lead, mercury, beryllium, thallium, and arsenic. When sent to landfills, these chemicals from the hard drives cause soil and ground water contamination. Professional hard drive shredding services ensure all shredded material is recycled and processed into products or energy.
