“Some of these data security issues is not a full understanding of what you’re driving the decision. Almost people making decisions because of flashy keywords, NESA standards, DOD three-pass wipe, and not really understanding what is behind making that a decision?”
Frank Milia, Chief Operating Officer
“Yeah, I think you can choose a standard and you can have a process and procedure, but that’s a step after where you need to begin, which is how are we categorizing our media and risk in our data in the first place. We’re going to implement an NESA 2 millimeter shred size. Do we have top secret data that we need to do something like that for? If you’re an NSA contractor or you’re the NSA yourselves, adhering to the NSA standard probably makes sense. Outside of that, it’s probably overkill for your business, and certainly it’s overkill for maybe the marketing department. Maybe your accounting or other critical IP needs to go to that high standard, but is there any reason your sales team or a sales team at a marketing company, let’s say, is there any reason why that team would need to have their drive shredded to two millimeter standard? I would say probably not.”
