Hard-Drive & Media Destruction

In an ever more digital world, many of the ways that we store information have changed. Storing information on devices such as hard drives and laptops is increasingly common, and much of the information that is stored digitally contains sensitive or confidential data.

Ensuring that this data does not get into the wrong hands is essential. This protects individuals and businesses from data theft and fraud, so all sensitive information that is stored on these devices that is no longer needed should be correctly destroyed.

Examples include (but not limited to):

Making sure that the information that you have is safe and secure is paramount. When it comes to hard drives and media, simply clicking delete is not enough – as long as the item is intact, the information can still be recovered from it, so to permanently delete this the item must be physically destroyed.
