Frequently Asked Questions
We answer your frequently asked questions about our data erasure, and shredding destruction services
What is Data Destruction?
Data destruction is the process of completely removing data from storage media to make it irrecoverable.
This can be achieved through two main methods:
Logical Sanitization (Data Erasure)
Logical Sanitization, also called, Data Erasure, involves overwriting existing data on the storage device, allowing the media to be reused if needed. It’s a sustainable option that aligns with corporate environmental goals and is suitable for low- to medium-sensitivity data.
Physical Destruction
Physical destruction involves mechanically destroying storage media, such as shredding hard drives or degaussing magnetic storage. This method is ideal for high-sensitivity data or compliance with strict regulatory requirements, ensuring that no data remnants can be recovered.
Why is Data Destruction Important?
Data destruction prevents potential breaches, maintains data privacy, and fulfills regulatory compliance. With growing legal requirements, especially in sectors like healthcare (HIPAA) and finance (GLBA), organizations are accountable for protecting personal and confidential information throughout its lifecycle, including its end-of-life.
Failing to secure data destruction exposes organizations to risks like financial penalties, reputational damage, and, most critically, the exploitation of residual data.
What types of data destruction are available?
The top three methods used as part of our data destruction services include data erasure, degaussing and hard drive shredding. Here’s a breakdown of each.
Data Erasure
Data erasure uses specialized software to overwrite data on storage devices, ensuring it’s irrecoverable. Unlike simple deletion, which leaves data fragments that can be retrieved, data erasure is a methodical approach that writes over all information on the device. This method is cost-effective and eco-friendly, as it enables devices to be reused, reducing electronic waste.
Degaussing
Degaussing uses a powerful magnetic field to scramble data on magnetic storage devices. While effective, this method renders the device inoperable, making it unsuitable for reuse. It’s widely used for high-security environments where sensitive data must be completely destroyed.
Hard Drive Shredding
Hard drive shredding is a form of data erasure. With hard drive shredding the hard drive is mechanically destroyed into small pieces, rendering data unrecoverable. Hard drive shredding is suitable for highly sensitive information and offers peace of mind that no residual data remains. It’s typically used when devices are no longer needed or when regulatory compliance demands destruction.
