In response to growing concerns about data stored on office copiers being stolen if a machine is later resold, office equipment dealer and document management services provider Advance is offering hard drive shredding services to destroy hard drives, and the data stored on them, when a machine is no longer in use. Advance is partnering with a National Security Agency approved specialist in data destruction, which will provide the equipment necessary for the hard drive shredding to Advance.
Though every copier Advance leases or sells comes equipped with security features to overwrite data that’s stored on the hard drive and there are additional options to enhance protection, shredding a hard drive is one extra step that can be taken to protect sensitive information.
When a hard drive is being destroyed, it is run through a machine that erases all of the data. It then goes through a shredder and afterward, all of the leftover scraps and metals can be recycled.
