Disk Destruction and Recycling Service
Developing a sound data protection strategy is one of the more complex tasks faced by today’s IT organizations. Historically, company concerns have centered only on access (i.e., authentication and authorization), backup and recovery or business continuity.
Today, an increasing number of regulatory requirements that govern the protection of personal information (e.g., health records, financial statements, credit/debit card information, social security numbers, etc.) are causing companies to continually reexamine how they protect information from getting out of their control.
Companies sensitive to the problem of data remaining on an individual HDD or a disk subsystem when it leaves the physical security of a data center are faced with the dilemma of how to properly eradicate data in the most cost-effective manner. The physical destruction of an HDD is by far the most secure method of destroying data.
