Irvine Hard Drive Destruction

Not all sensitive data is kept on paper. In fact, more and more, Irvine businesses store their sensitive information on computers or other electronic devices. Banking information, classified business documentation, medical records—you name it. Everything is kept on hard drives now and shared between various users via the Internet. This leaves business information vulnerable to theft, since all data on a hard drive is recoverable, even if you deleted the files from it yourself.

Destroying the physical hard drive for good is the only way to ensure that your or your business’s data doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. This process is required for compliance with California privacy laws, including HIPAA. Businesses that fail to destroy hard drives could end up facing serious violations and fines. 
It’s not only the hard drives in your traditional desktop computers that are at risk. In your office, hard drives are everywhere, mainly because most devices need a hard drive in order to operate. Because they have a hard drive, each of these devices contains potentially sensitive data stored in its memory. 

Upon destruction, you will receive a certificate of destruction that indicates the process has been completed. This certificate is good to maintain records, especially if following a legal regulation such as HIPAA. The process is entirely secure and confidential, and after the certificate is delivered, you know for a fact that your electronic information is eternally safe.
