SELECTSHRED | A MORE THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO THE PROPER DESTRUCTION AND DISPOSAL OF HARD DRIVES AND NON-PAPER MEDIA

Since the Florida Information Protection Act of 2014 more individuals and businesses are definitely taking action to protect their own personal information and the sensitive information of their customers/clients. The Florida Information Protection Act sets the standards for maintaining and disposing of electronically stored confidential information. Also, it reduced data breach notification times regarding when customers/clients must be notified in the event of a data security breach.

The Florida Information Protection Act as well as the significant fines and negative publicity that affected some major companies due to data security breaches have caused more individuals and businesses to be aware of the consequences of these breaches. The increased awareness has led to the understanding that when data security breaches occur, no one will be absolved of liability if that information is ever retrieved and misused.

We are less likely to hear that someone is willing to hammer, drill or even wipe their hard drives. The requests have been coming in to destroy floppy drives, phones, CDs/DVDs, and other non-paper media. Many have realized that the complete destruction of electronic media is as important as the destruction of their printed media. For hard drives, the physical destruction of the hard drive platters is the only way to ensure complete destruction of the drives and the information that has been recorded on the drives.

More individuals and businesses are removing and destroying their hard drives and the information they contain before they recycle or throw out your their computers. They are less likely to entrust the hard drives to others if they are not sure of the hard drive destruction method to be used. A mobile/on-site NAID AAA Certified hard drive destruction company will use equipment and processes to destroy and dispose of hard drives efficiently, safely, economically, and environmentally responsibly. Ask to witness the hard drive destruction process.
