Hard Drive Destruction

The general public is oftentimes unaware of how much sensitive personal information is stored on the hard drive of their device and just how difficult it is to remove. Because of this, many people will simply click delete on their files and toss the hard drive into the nearest dumpster. However, this practice leaves your data vulnerable to breaches, fraud, and theft. The best way to prevent this is by turning to PROSHRED® Jacksonville for secure hard drive destruction.

Digital Data Cannot Be Completely Erased

Hard drives are becoming increasingly essential to the day-to-day activities of everyone from businesses and schools to private citizens. However, the same technology that makes a hard drive perfect for storing and accessing things like sensitive emails, budget papers, invoices, and personnel files does not allow for easy removal of those digital records. When the device or data is no longer needed, moving files to the recycle bin or even formatting the drive will not remove every piece of data.

All that is needed to restore a large portion, or sometimes all, of the deleted data is an individual skilled in data recovery or access to data recovery tutorials. That’s why it is so vital to avoid throwing a device into the trash and instead engage in hard drive destruction practices. PROSHRED® Jacksonville’s proven hard drive shredding process is compliant with all state and federal legislation including HIPAA and FACTA. This means that you can rest easy knowing that all of your information has been protected while adhering to legislative guidelines.

How Does Hard Drive Shredding Work?

To prevent your company from facing significant fines and legal action resulting from data breaches, it is critical that you completely destroy your hard drives. This is a task that is not easily completed on your own and luckily, we can help. Our team can destroy all of your media and equipment on location using one of our mobile shredding trucks. For the ultimate peace of mind, you can witness the entire process from start to finish via a closed-circuit live feed.

At the end of each service, you will be supplied with a Certificate of Destruction which includes such details as the date and time of service as well as the team member that completed the shredding. Additionally, we partner with local recycling facilities to ensure that the e-waste produced by the process is disposed of properly, recycling everything that can be of use.
