Shredding your hard drive may seem like an odd thing to do. Most people think if you wipe a hard drive all the contents are gone, but that isn’t true. According to SafeWiper.com, “You can delete or format an external or internal hard drive, but deleting everything doesn’t erase hard drive and formatting also does not erase data.”

So how do you get rid of your data? How do you stay completely safe and secure with your confidential information? Simple… you have to dispose of the drive. No — not just throw it in the trash, but actually shred it!

A secure hard-drive shredding service is your best bet. When looking for a hard-drive shredding or disposal service, it is key to make sure they are NAID certified and can give you proper reporting on the chain of custody. The last thing any business wants is to have their secure information out in the open.
