With increasing legislation for data protection it is vitally
important that all data is erased from hard drives and associated
media.
The vulnerability of information stored on
PC hard drives is a recognised security risk. Unlike other PC
data storage media the hard drive always stays with the PC. Every
time a PC leaves a company's control all the data and company
information will go with it.
Even if the hard drive breaks down the storage
platters will still contain information which could be read once
repaired.
In keeping with our policy of recognising user
requirements we have a Deguasser unit capable of removing data from
PC hard drives in less than 20 seconds. In most cases this will
render the hard drive inoperable; however for absolute data destruction
guaranteed Xpo own a Hard Drive and Media Shredder cutting the components
down to MOD standard sized pieces.
Xpo can carry out on and off site Degaussing and Hard Drive and Media Shredding.
Xpo's asset tracking system allows us to produce reports on all the equipment that is processed, tracking the recycling and disposal process. A certificate of destruction will then be issued. Various specialist services are available for the transportation of data.
Clients are welcome to view this process at any stage.
