What is data shredding?

It’s the secure shredding and destruction of items like computer hard drives, thumb drives, CDs, DVDs, SD cards, mobile phones, etc. Many people don’t realize that these pieces of technology store sensitive information and that simply “deleting” files doesn’t erase them from the devices completely, leaving information vulnerable to theft.

These items are just as dangerous as paper records if they land in the wrong hands. That’s why have experienced technicians and cutting-edge equipment to safely and effectively destroy these items for good.

So why make data security a priority?

1. To Protect Your Identity

Often, when people are ready to dispose of items like computer hard drives and mobile devices like tablets and phones, they take them to a trash facility, donate them, or leave them behind at an old office and never give them another thought. However, the information left on these items can leave you, your patient, or your customers vulnerable to attack. If these items have stored bank information, social security numbers, and more, you could expose you or someone you’re responsible for identity theft.
