Storage Media Destruction: Hard Drive, Tape, Magnetic Media Shredding
Did you know that formatting a hard drive is not enough? The previous data can be recovered maybe in a few simple steps.
The Solution to this problem used by most computer recyclers is Department of Defense (DOD) standards software. This software rewrites data several times. This makes it difficult to recover original data. Note the term “difficult” not “impossible”. With your nature of business and the laws such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) you want secure data destruction that is 100% secure. The solution to that problem is eRevival’s Data Shredding.
eRevival LLC a EPA and NJDEP registered Universal Waste Handler, has Data Shredding solution for 100% secure data destruction. We just don’t delete data or rewrite data on Hard Drives, Tapes, Magnetic Media, but we physically destroy it hence the term Data Shredding.
Serial Number log: Auditing
Unlike most competitors we just don’t provide you with a “Certificate of Destruction” which state “Storage media were picked up from (Client’s name) and destroyed and data cannot be recovered” This does not prove anything, you don’t have any record of which storage media was destructed / shredded. We provide you with a Certificate of Destruction along with a Serial Number log for all hard drive that we shred and destruct. What if your organization is charged with privacy laws. Should you only have a “Certificate of Destruction” you have no evidence that you had those hard drive destructed/shredded. But should you have our Serial Number log along with our Certificate of Destruction you will be free from liabilities of those hard drives stated in the Serial Number log. This provides you with extra security which you need when it comes to the privacy laws.
