Automated Shredding’s hard drive destruction service shreds your hard drives making it an unreadable pile of debris. Formatting or degaussing hard drives, tapes, and other magnetic media is not enough. This practice is deployed by many companies before they are ready to dispose of hard drives, tapes and other magnetic media. This is not very safe as it is prone to human/software error and someone with basic computer technical skills can recover deleted data.

Shredding and destroying your hard drive is the only way to eliminate the risk of your stored personal data from being stolen.

Destruction software and erasers simply delete files but the data still remains intact and it is still possible to retrieve previous data. Companies are at risk with new legislation, such as the privacy laws like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Patriot Act of 2002, Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, US Safe Harbor Provisions, FDA Security Regulations, PCI Data Security Standard, and many more laws.
