Louisville Hard Drive Destruction

It is not just paper that has sensitive information. Your hard drives also need to be destroyed before they leave your possession. This is required for compliance with federal and Kentucky privacy laws including HIPAA. Just deleting files is not sufficient to destroy the information. It is easily recovered with free software.

To be sure the information is destroyed there is no better way than to physically destroy the hard drive. Hard drive destruction can be done on-site or at a secure Louisville plant. The pieces are then melted down for metal recycling. This is absolute destruction.

Don’t forget all of the hidden hard drives in your office. Copy machines and fax machines also have hard drives that must be shredded before it is sent off to the recyclers. These store digital images of what has been scanned and can be recovered.

The entire process is simple and easy while also being secure and confidential. The process includes the drives being dropped off or picked up. Then, the drives are destroyed by an industrial shredder. Lastly, you will receive a certificate of destruction. This is your reassurance that your electronic data is no longer recoverable. The certificate is also useful for maintaining records for personal or legal reasons.
