What is secure data destruction?
Secure data destruction can be defined as:
Eliminating data that is stored within hardware such as hard drives, USB sticks, laptops, computers, floppy disks, and any other media device, so that it cannot be used or read by any unauthorised persons.
It is an extremely common problem that both business owners and household users come across when they want to upgrade devices or simply don’t need/want to use a device anymore which may contain information that is personal/sensitive. Even if they don’t feel that the photos/videos/emails/documents are particularly worthy of any particular interest, the thought of a stranger (or even an unauthorised friend/colleague) gaining access to even 1 file, is not pleasant and could be extremely unsafe.
There also tends to be an assumption regarding how simple the process is – is it as straightforward as deleting the files and clearing your cache and history? Sadly not. It’s always the best option to be completely clear on which devices will not be able to be accessed ever again by a third party, which is exactly where Envirocraft come in.
What is the goal of secure data destruction?
The purpose of data destruction is to make absolutely sure that the information possessed by the devices is completely and utterly unreadable by anyone gaining access to the hardware, no matter which sort of device/software is used in future. Not only does it need to be unreadable, it also needs to be unrecoverable, even by someone with highly technical IT skills.
The overall goals of this process are to keep everyone’s personal information safe, whether that be the staff’s details, the customers, or even members of the public. All of this is done in an ethical, environmentally friendly manner.
At Envirocraft we concur that all of our data shredding and electronic data destructions guarantee that all personal information your business holds, whether for customers or staff, is destroyed securely, upholding everyone’s privacy and protecting against fraud.
We’ll come to you at a time that best suits your schedule and take care of everything on your behalf, making the process as straightforward as possible.
