Data Destruction Services

What Are Data Destruction Services?

Data destruction is a cornerstone of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD). Whether you are selling IT equipment or just disposing of it, data destruction will ensure that your data is no longer accessible by anyone. This isn’t just required for hard drives -  data is also stored on removable media, backup tapes, storage arrays, and internally within PCs and servers.

Data is one of the most valuable commodities in today’s business world. If data gets into the wrong hands, then the harm can be catastrophic for your organization, employees, and customers.

Your legal obligations to protect sensitive data do not stop when you dispose of IT equipment. Organizations have received large fines for failing to ensure data destruction when IT Assets have been disposed of.

TechReset data destruction services can help to stop this from happening to you.
