Data Destruction

secure Data Destruction

Securely destroying data stored on electronic items and IT assets at the end of their useful life is essential to ensure all information is completely unrecoverable and unable to be accessed for unauthorised purposes. Simply erasing data is not enough, and won’t guarantee that your data is irretrievable, nor that your business is compliant with Privacy Legislation.
