Did you know that people have purchased used hard drives on eBay, which contained confidential patient information?

If you have old computers that you intend to recycle, donate or sell, you need to ensure that any confidential data has been erased before you dispose of the equipment. Deleting the files is not enough, because that's basically the same as tearing out the index from a book. The data is still all there, you just need to know how to get to it. Even reformatting the hard drive isn't enough. And don't forget about backup tapes or disks as well. CDs and DVDs have to be destroyed before being tossed into the garbage, where someone could find them.

We can help you dispose of your data safely and securely.
