What Is Secure Data Destruction?

Data Destruction is a disposal process of destroying the data stored on an electronic device. Once the data destruction procedure is complete, the confidential data is completely irretrievable. Secure data destruction is different from deleting files. When you delete a file, the information still exists on the hard drive of the device. There are several ways that data destruction can be completed, including:

Overwriting: This type of data destruction involves replacing old files with new files.
Degaussing: The process of degaussing means disrupting the magnetic field that’s part of the drive or storage disk. The procedure is completed with a magnet called a ‘degausser.’
Physically: Data destruction can also be performed physically, for example, by shredding disks or drive destruction.

Why does your business need secure data destruction?

Prevent a data breach: One of the most important reasons to ensure secure data destruction is to prevent a data breach. Devices used for business purposes store sensitive info; it’s important to ensure that this data cannot be stolen, retrieved or misused.

Achieve Data Protection compliance: Companies need to meet Data Protection requirements and GDPR laws. To do so, businesses must have a way of permanently destroying all personal data, for example, customer details or credit card information. Without secure data destruction, businesses may unintentionally breach Data Protection laws.

Preserve reputation: In the event of a data breach your business reputation could be tarnished. You could also be fined as a result of GDPR non-compliance.

Recycling equipment: Entrepreneurs know that recycling is important, from paper waste to E-waste. Without proper data destruction, it’s impossible to recycle your electronic devices.
