What do you do with your old hard drives, SSDs, flash drives, CDs, and other high-security data at your company? If you are storing these and waiting for a safe way to destroy them or opting to destroy them yourself, we want to outline some of the benefits that come from hiring a data destruction company or purchasing a professional product to destroy your information.
Professional data destruction guarantees protection from data breaches and stolen information before destruction. Our primary focus at Phiston is to develop high-security data storage media destruction devices for offices of any size.
Our focus is on quality, functionality, and reliability. The products are portable and easy to operate. The designs meet industry standards for media destruction and sanitization. In addition, we promote a healthy and safe environment in the workplace with products equipped with waste containment and disposal features and more.
No matter what method or product you choose to use, here are 4 reasons you should professionally destroy your data…
Data will not be recoverable
Deleting files won’t get rid of the data completely. Just because something is broken doesn’t mean a criminal won’t be able to retrieve data off of it. Even if you wipe information off of a stored device, there is no guarantee it is not recoverable. But, by using a data destruction company, you can ensure your data is physically destroyed so that it can never be recovered. There are several forms of total destruction such as:
- Degaussing: using strong magnetic fields to erase the recorded data patterns on the drive surfaces so it’s completely destroyed.
- Data destruction software: overwrites and randomizes contents of the drives so nobody can retrieve it, but the drive is still useable afterwards.
- Hard drive destruction: disassembling a drive and destroying the data storage surface by disintegration, grinding, pulveration, shredding and more.
You will be keeping the law
There are laws to ensure security of financial, personal and health data and information that requires companies to properly destroy these files. Violations can result in fines for businesses, so in order to guarantee compliance, we recommend data destruction services or products.
It can save you space and is an eco-friendly way to dispose of your files
Storing boxes and shelves of hard drives can take up a lot of space in your office. So if you are looking for extra room, consider using a compact destroyer like the MediaVice Compact SSD destroyer to keep in your office. Secure data destruction on-the-go is a safe method of data destruction that is also environmentally friendly. For example, in our MediaDice Solid State Drive Disintegrator, all pulverized debris accumulates in a sealed, locked HEPA vacuum canister until safely disposed. This HEPA filtration system also traps any harmful airborne particles from damaging circuit boards, electronic components and silicon-based memory and integrated circuit chips
It protects your reputation
Over 75% of businesses that suffer from a major data breach usually go out of business within 24 months. Data breaches can be damaging and unrecoverable, so it’s important to do everything possible to protect your client data. This increases your credibility and also leaves you with peace of mind. Phiston data destruction products can help protect what’s most important to you and your clients.
Our main focus at Phiston Technologies is the evolution and development of high security data storage media destruction. We staff only top-notch engineers to produce innovative technologies for data destruction for HDDs, SSDs, flash drives, CDs, DVDs, magnetic strip cards, PDAs, cell phones and other electronic data storage media.
