Manhattan Hard Drive Destruction

Your old paper files are not the only place you’ll find your sensitive information. Your hard drives also contain files and private information, and they need to be destroyed before they leave your possession. This is required for compliance with privacy laws across New York state, and federal laws including HIPAA. And just deleting your files is not sufficient to destroy the information. It can be easily recovered with free software.

To be sure your information is destroyed there is no better way than to physically destroy the hard drive. Manhattan Paper Shredding partners offer hard drive destruction services that can be completed on site or at a secure plant. Professionals shred your electronic media to pieces are then melt everything down for metal recycling. This is absolute destruction. 

Don’t forget about all of the hidden hard drives in your office. Copy machines and fax machines also have hard drives that must be shredded before they are sent off to the recyclers. These store digital images of what has been scanned, and that information can be recovered.

The entire process is simple and easy while also being secure and confidential. The process includes the drives being dropped off or picked up. Then, the drives are destroyed by an industrial shredder. Lastly, you will receive a certificate of destruction. This is your reassurance that your electronic data is no longer recoverable. The certificate is also useful for maintaining records for personal or legal reasons.
