Hard drives and other components store valuable and confidential data. Electronic information is already covered by HIPAA and FACTA for businesses, but shredding is ultimately the best solution for outdated hard drives and other information storage units. Sarbanes Oxley requirements ensure businesses conduct due diligence when retiring "end of life" equipment containing information. If your company needs documentation, we can provide serialization of every hard drive, secure lock boxes sent to your location and Certificates of Destruction (COD).
Information assets possess large volumes of confidential data and protecting this data is imperative. The high cost of data breaches and the risk of data leaks means that proper steps must be taken to ensure the complete and secure disposal of sensitive information. Organizations must have a detailed audit trail as evidence of the steps taken to prevent data leaks. Failure to comply could result in financial loss, damage to a company's reputation, and civil and criminal liability.
These three scenarios have one thing in common, the need for proper recycling through destruction. While landfilling and incineration may have seemed like viable options in the past, there can be a down-side. Landfilling, in today's green age, is not only wasting space for items that might otherwise breakdown to create methane gas (for energy production), but it does not provide complete destruction. Incineration will provide complete destruction, but creates the potential for environmental problems.
To address these concerns and reduce the "chain of custody" for our clients, Sunnking owns and operates two shredders that can accept everything from hard drives to full size copiers. Companies can be assured that their equipment, sensitive information, and brand identity will be completely protected through total destruction. Companies can also be assured that post shredded material will be diverted from the solid waste stream (to the greatest extent practicable) by recycling the contents as commodities.
