Regardless of your organisation's size, disposal of IT equipment at the end of its useful life creates risks. With laws designed to prevent the disclosure of client and supplier personal information even inadvertent disclosure is a potentially serious business, public relations and legal issue for any organisation. Therefore destruction of data on your equipment could be essential to avoid serious fines and litigation.
Proper data destruction
IBM can help to minimise the risk of business and legal exposure either by destroying selected hard drive units or overwriting data on hard drives to be remarketed. Our 3x disk over-write service is an efficient and cost-effective way to reliably overwrite your hard drives before they re-enter the market. This service overwrites the drives on Intel® processor based machines to US Department of Defence (DoD) 5220-22-M three-pass standards. Your data is virtually irretrievable. An estimate can be provided if additional overwriting beyond the 3x standard is required.
