Today’s business owners understand the importance of shredding old data to prevent it from getting in the wrong hands. That is why it is important to crush the CD’s, flash/USB drives, and other removable media at appropriate intervals. But did you know that it’s just as imperative to have a hard drive crusher as well? Here’s a list of reasons why it’s important to have a hard drive crusher, specifically, our MediaVise® hard drive crusher:
- MediaVise® hard drive crusher is in compliance with the NSA’s “degauss and destroy” standards. The “destroy” part takes care of the magnetic part that needs to be demagnetized. The physical part renders the data irretrievable and unreadable.
- If your company has access to classified or other sensitive information (such as those covered by the HIPAA and FACTA laws), crushing the hard drive will not only protect the customers, but keep you in compliance with those laws.
- Most of all, crushing a hard drive will prevent the inevitable data breach. So nobody can misuse the information. It is impossible to steal intellectual property because the crushing process completely destroys the source drive.
