For businesses searching exclusively for data destruction services, the TERRA Secure program will satisfy that request.
Retired electronics are full of sensitive customer and organizational data that is a grave threat to your reputation and bottom line if not destroyed following recognized best-practices.
In fact, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which is responsible for enforcing the “Disposal Rule” requiring companies to dispose of personally identifiable information on computer hard drives or other digital media, can enforce penalties up to $1,000 for every affected record from a data breach emanating from a forgotten device. These fines can quickly add up to millions of dollars.
TERRA Secure offers options for eliminating information stored on IT assets through our network of Certified Recyclers and ITAD service providers. The method you select (data erasure and device destruction) depends on whether:
The asset has residual value and can be reused.
The asset no longer has residual value.
Your security policy mandates physical destruction.
Regardless of which solution or combination of solutions you select, you will receive documentation including Certificates of Data Erasure & Destruction (COD), Certificates of Recycling (COR), Inventory/Audit Reports, etc.
