Today everyone enjoys the use of electronics, and all the conveniences and luxury they provide. However it is sometimes overlooked that valuable and confidential information is stored on most every standard computer, laptop, cell phone, copier and fax machine.
Many end of life electronic data storage devices are disposed of improperly. Often these devices contain a substantial amount of confidential information that can be damaging to a business if not properly disposed of.
Following NAID “AAA” Certified secure data destruction procedures insures these devises are properly destroyed. This process renders the information contained within them completely unrecoverable.
With the continuous advancement of micro-electronics, electronic storage devices store more information than ever before. (See Storage Media Chart)
