Data Destruction for Recycled IT Equipment
EOLE Midwest understand the importance of data destruction in the recycling process. When recycling laptops, computers, or any device that stores data, it's essential to protect sensitive information, including personal data, financial records, and proprietary business information. Simply deleting files is not enough.
At End of Life Electronics Midwest, we employ physical destruction methods to ensure the complete destruction of your storage devices. This thorough approach safeguards individuals and organizations from identity theft, data breaches, and potential legal liabilities. By implementing these physical data destruction methods, we provide our clients with peace of mind, protecting their privacy and maintaining the integrity of their confidential information.
Physical destruction enables compliance that covers DoD; HIPAA; Sarbanes-Oxley Act; Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; FACTA Disposal Rule; Bank Secrecy Act; Patriot Act of 2002; Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act; US Safe Harbor Provisions and PCI Data Security Standard.
EOLE Midwest will provide documented destruction records of all applicable devices upon request.
Simply deleting files or reformatting a hard drive or SSD does not permanently erase the data. Data can still be recovered using readily available software.
