Businesses store data on a variety of technological devices including computers, flash drives, cell phones and tablets. Eventually those devices wear out, become obsolete and clutter the office. Recycling tech waste offers a beneficial solution to both the business and the environment. But how do you protect that sensitive data from unwanted hands? Level 1 Data Destruction offers an easy solution to securely remove data from hard disks and mobile storage devices.
Level 1 Data Destruction
Protecting sensitive data is a top priority for many business owners. When you recycle your data, ensure the firm offers Level 1 Data Destruction. This military grade process wipes the data from your hard disks. Portable storage devices such as flash drives are degaussed. The process is DOD compliant with all devices wiped and sanitized. Additional levels are available for those needing additional security, but most businesses benefit from Level 1.
Keeping Data Safe When Decommissioning IT Assets
Government Regulations
The government has offered a variety of regulations and standards for the proper erasure of data from a variety of storage devices. These standards are critical for many government operations and agencies including the military branches. Each standard used has a slightly different method of erasing and wiping data, but all have the same end result in mind, data security. Level 1 Data Destruction is DOD compliant to follow the standards used by the Department of Defense in their data erasure.
Benefits to Your Company
There are several benefits to companies using Level 1 Data Destruction. Tossing old hard drives in the landfill or recycling without the proper wiping and erasure can result in criminals obtaining sensitive information. When all the data is properly removed from a device, your business has less risk of a breach. Security breaches happen frequently. Without the data, your business cannot be fined for information it cannot leak. Many of these fines come with a hefty price tag that makes data destruction a beneficial alternative. Proper data destruction keeps your business in compliance with government regulations. Office space no longer has to be used for storing old hard drives or other storage devices. Recycling them with a data destruction plan also helps protect the environment.
