Data destruction before disposal
Discuss handling data on old computers and storage devices before selling, donating or recycling them. Call for pricing.
Retire the data, too.
Deleting files or formatting a drive may leave recoverable information behind. Before a computer changes hands, discuss the storage device and the level of sanitization your situation requires.
The method depends on the device.
Hard drives, solid-state drives and damaged storage do not all respond to the same process. Tell Kevin the device type, condition and intended destination so the available options can be discussed.
- Storage and data-disposal assessment
- Discussion of an appropriate sanitization method
- Coordination with computer recycling or replacement
Save any files you need before authorizing destruction. If your business needs a specific standard, certificate or compliance record, discuss that requirement before arranging service. Call for pricing.
