Are You Leaving Yourself Open to Data Breach When Your Storage Media Dies?

Destroying your data is a critical component of the records management cycle—it helps keep your inventory and records management costs manageable, and reduces your risk of privacy and compliance breach by eliminating the possibility those records could be compromised.

But only if you’re doing it correctly.

Nowadays, Data CAN Be Brought Back From the Dead—Can Yours?

Digital records storage is a great way to reduce the space you need for storage and increase accessibility and security, but just because your records aren’t on paper doesn’t mean you are less responsible for keeping that data confidential. When it’s time to destroy digital records, you need to make sure the data is completely unreadable and totally unavailable FOREVER to keep yourself and your customers safe.

That’s why having a professional handle your media destruction is so important—there are ways to recover data from digital media you may not even be aware of, and data recovery tools are only improving and new tools are constantly being developed to better recover data from damaged media. You need to be certain there will be NO WAY your data can be resurrected and compromised after you dispose of it.
