How to sell data Eradication to a Skeptic

Data is the lifeline of a business. Everything from your customer contacts, financials, internal procedures, and proprietary information come in the form of data. And hence, when this data is stored on an electronic device or across a network of devices, the process of data destruction gets trickier. And hence it is important for the IT teams and management of a company to ensure that the best practices of hard drive destruction and IT asset disposition are put in place to avoid a data breach or data leak. Sometimes, to save costs these teams end up compromising on the security of the data by stockpiling their old computers and hard drives in a dark room or sell these devices at a lower rate to third parties without understanding that a data breach could cost a bunch of negative results to the company such as noncompliance, brand damage, negative media coverage, loss of customers, loss of revenue, regulatory fines, prosecution, and legal fees. Many companies believe that if a file is deleted, it’s gone for good, but that’s not true. Did you know, as per NAID (National Association For Information Destruction, Inc.) 40 percent of used electronic devices sold on the second-hand market contained personally identifiable information including sensitive and personal information like usernames, passwords, company data, and tax details? We have state of the art data destruction wiping software to ensure that your data is unreadable by even the most advanced technologies. We understand the importance of your business’ data.
