Data Destruction

When it comes to getting rid of your old electronics, your privacy is of the utmost importance. No one should be able to access your data without your consent. At CJD, we specialize in legally compliant data destruction services that ensure the security of your most valuable data.

What is Data Destruction?

Data destruction is the process of rendering the information on your electronic devices completely unreadable and inaccessible to unauthorized parties. Deleting files is not enough — they are often still recoverable by those with the right expertise.

Data destruction methods include:

  • Deleting
  • Rewriting

Why Destroy Data?

Today, all computers, even small ones like phones or watches, are data powerhouses. It might not be obvious, but your devices store plenty of personal and sensitive information that can be harmful in the wrong hands. Failure to securely erase data leaves you more vulnerable to crimes like identity theft. For your security and privacy, it’s best to destroy all data on devices you no longer use.

Individuals have strong reasons for data destruction, but it’s perhaps even more important when it comes to businesses. For larger organizations and corporations, proper data destruction ensures you stay compliant with all laws and policies. It helps protect the private information of your employees, customers, and patients.

Best Practices for Destroying Data

Whether you need to destroy data for personal or business reasons, there are many things to consider before you commit. Here are just a few:

  1. Choose the appropriate data destruction method for your needs.
  2. Educate your employees about data destruction policies, laws, and guidelines.
  3. Assess how long your need to hold on to certain types of data and don’t keep data around that you don’t have to.
  4. Be as thorough as possible when destroying data.
  5. Get help from professionals when taking action to destroy data, and stay organized throughout the process.
  6. If data destruction has resulted in electronic waste, don’t forget about e-cycling.
