Stay Secure with Hard Drive Shredding Services
It seems as though a security breach makes the news every year and rattles consumers with worry. Whether a major retailer gets hacked and millions of bank accounts are compromised or health data is breached and private records are suddenly not so private, security issues are at the forefront of every industry. And since we live in a world where groceries can be ordered online and delivered to your front door, protecting all levels of consumer information is vital.
Compliance on Many Levels
Making sure your customers or clients’ private information isn’t compromised is not just good business. It’s also the law. Data security is a requirement by the federal government, and compliance standards are just getting tougher. More and more often, the government and other regulatory agencies are holding the business accountable for data breaches and hacks and levying heavy penalties for failure to comply. Not to mention, experiencing a public security breach creates serious public relations issues that can take a toll on a the way a brand is perceived in the marketplace!
What You're Doing May Not Be Enough
Sure, you probably have firewalls and IT updates and you probably aren’t leaving your login information on a sticky note on your computer. But if you aren’t paying attention to how your old hard drives and personal devices are destroyed, then you could be putting sensitive material at serious risk. If the data has not been completely erased and destroyed, then not only are you not meeting important federal regulations in some cases, but you are putting your sensitive information at high risk. The truth is, data can be recovered even if you think you’ve wiped it clean.In fact, as many as 40% of all “destroyed” devices still have recoverable data. In certain industries, this can spell serious disaster.
