The 100% secure way to destroy electronic data

Confidential information stored on hard drives has become a target for information and identity theft. When companies upgrade their computers they often remove the hard drives, use special software to erase the data and send them to a computer recycler. Although these programs erase the data, some just delete the directories on the drive and the actual data remains. By using simple software, this information can be restored giving almost anybody access to the confidential information believed to have been destroyed. This can leave the company, employees, suppliers and clients vulnerable.

Erasing your hard drive doesn’t mean that the data is gone. Hard drive destruction is proven to be the only 100% secure way to destroy data from hard drives permanently. That means physically shredding the hard drive and disposing of the tiny particles that remain. Shred-X Document Destruction’s state of the art shredding machines are specifically designed to destroy all types of hardware and media. See below:

• Hard drives including laptops and desktop drives
