SECURE DATA DESTRUCTION

The safeguarding and destruction of private and confidential information is crucial to all organizations. Company policies and governmental regulations require that computer data be handled in a secure manner. From the moment a client’s equipment enters our warehouse, it is digitally photographed, tagged, and monitored by around-the-clock video surveillance. Depending on company requirements, IT Source will maintain chain of custody until critical data is wiped or the device is physically destroyed. Here are the methods used in protecting critical company confidential information.As the equipment is sent across the technician’s bench, asset tags are removed, and all data, programs, and operating systems are destroyed upon equipment start up. IT Source wipes data on various media types such as, thumb drives, blackberries, etc. To best meet your data destruction needs, you may select a method ranging from a single-pass overwrite, to a DOD that meets specifications set by the U.S Department of Defense:

• Standard – Simple single-pass overwrite of entire hard drive on good working hard drive. In most scenarios, this method is sufficient for data protection, and leaves the hard drive in working condition for reuse.
• DOD Wipe – Triple-pass U.S. Department of Defense Specification. This method is the most comprehensive of all the methods and leaves the drive in working condition to maximize value.
