Why Use DiskShred?

Most organisations are fastidious about protecting networks and data. When electronic files are no longer of use to your day-to-day business, the same care you took to preserve the information must be taken to dispose of it.

 

In 2009, a computer forensics firm completed a six-month survey investigating what sort of information could be retrieved from second-hand hard drives. 40% of these drives contained personal and corporate confidential information. This included corporate financial data, DNS server information, personal identification details, and even a company’s ‘secret’ recipe.

 

In the wrong hands, this kind of information could result in:

  • reputational loss;
  • identity theft for your customers, employees and business;
  • competitive disadvantage; and
  • fraud.

 

It could also put you in breach of the Data Protection Act.

 

On Site, In Plain Sight

Your company’s sensitive and confidential data stays with you until it is completely destroyed. There is no need to transport media devices away from your organisation or for the devices to be handled by third-parties.

 

The destruction of your hard drives is carried out on-site and in plain sight...

 

  • We park at your premises.
  • We load your hard drives or storage media into our lorry, where our shredder is housed.
  • Our fully vetted staff remain with the lorry and your hard drives or media at all times.
  • We shred your hard drives on-site in front of you.

  • We carefully dispose of the debris according to government regulations.
