Paper isn’t the Only Material You Should Be Shredding

Shredding sensitive records when they are no longer needed is one big and imperative step towards keeping your Muskego business protected from the threat of a data breach, leaked information, or identity theft. With that said, however, the growth of the digital age has forced us to shift our attention towards materials aside from paper. Computer hacking and dumpster diving are becoming increasingly more common, as the ability to obtain sensitive information from recycled or disposed-of electronic devices is real, and can be very damaged if not disposed of properly. These items include old cell phones, computers and most importantly, hard drives. You may be surprised to learn that a significant amount of files can be pulled from an old device even if it has been “wiped clean.” Have you ever stopped to consider if you are in fact disposing of your electronic data safely and in a secure manner?

If you are planning to update your entire computer system or even just one computer in your office, removing a defective electronic device will always leave room for a data breach when done improperly. Thankfully there is a positive and effective solution for this possible outcome, and we guarantee it!  Abraham’s On-Site Shredding Service is pleased to offer hard drive destruction services in addition to our quality paper shredding services. How exactly does this work? It’s simple: we destroy hard drives, mobile devices, computers and more just as if they were documents and best of all, its completed right on-site at your location so you aren’t forced to transfer electronic parts off your property.

Importance of Professional Hard Drive Destruction

Electronic devices are designed to store thousands of fragments of recoverable information even after that information has been “erased” or wiped clean. This is what allows information recovery businesses to operate; that file you thought was deleted ages ago might still exist on a hard drive in a less visible, albeit recoverable form.

An increase in identity theft cases as a result of technological advancements has sparked a new capability for hackers and dumpster divers to recover immense amounts of information from thrown-out hard drives. This is largely due in part to:

• Regularly evolving and accessible data recovery techniques and technologies.
• The near-impossibility of completely wiping electronic components so that they are 100% data-free.
