When you delete your files, empty your recycle bin, or clear your internet history, your data isn’t really gone. In fact with freely available tools you can fully recover all deleted data. This means your business, customer and employee data can be recovered by virtually anyone. When you delete files, all that happens is your operating system removes the reference to your file from its internal directory but the file remains there.
A common practice by corporations is to reformat or wipe the hard drives on obsolete or unused computers then sell or give these assets to employees, donate to charities or pass them on to a recycler.
Data can be recovered from ANY STORAGE MEDIUM with free, internet programs. How much is your data worth?
Ensure piece of mind and protect your data after devices have reached end of life by having them destroyed by a NAID Certified Data Destruction Facility!
