SECURE 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 from storage devices is not enough.. Erasure from electronic devices won’t guarantee that your sensitive data and intellectual property is irretrievable, nor that your business is compliant with Privacy Legislation and Data Destruction Policies.
