When
you decide to upgrade your computers, what do you do with your old machines?
We hear newspaper stories everyday of personal information being retrieved
from old computers. BBC's "Real Story" recently highlighted this
practice when 17 hard drives where purchased in Nigeria at just £15
each. The BBC was then able to trace all 17 original owners, and uncovered
bank account details and other personal documents.
What information is held on your computers? Financial accounts, employee details,
customer information, company secrets, marketing strategies? The list goes
on, but one thing is for sure; you do not want this information falling into
the wrong hands.
We
can securely wipe any media item submitted to us. This means it will be wiped
to a level where it is impossible to retrieve data from it in the future and
we issue a certificate stating this. We
will also dispose of any unwanted hardware in compliance with UK WEEE Regulations.
There
are software programs you can buy to erase data, but are you sure they have
cleaned everything? Could you have made a mistake when you used it? We are
experts at recovering lost and hidden data, so when we wipe something we are
confident no one else will find it.
If
your data is important to you, it could be even more important to somebody
else!
