Our fleet of data destruction vehicles can help service industrial and business parks throughout Fairfax County and the surrounding areas.
Why is Hard drive destruction important?
A hard drive’s simple data deletion leaves bits of data behind that might be sold to identity thieves, foreign hackers, or criminal groups. By destroying hard drives and other media beyond identification, our hard drive destruction procedure aids in the prevention of data breaches.
Virginia now ranks among the top 10 worst states for data breaches due to a string of expensive data breaches in recent years. Secure ITAD services should be essential since data breaches have the potential to result in financial losses of millions of dollars (not to mention the opportunity cost of missed revenue, harm to one’s reputation, and so on).
The most important benefit of hard drive destruction is the environmental cause. Not only is recycling e-waste environmentally beneficial, but it is also required by the law. There are several resources that provide information on what organizations and individuals should know about the dangers of electronic waste and how to dispose of IT assets properly. While you understand and gain knowledge of this process, allow ITAD businesses such as Metro Green to manage this delicate duty for you as we specialize in this field.
Organizations that have not put effort into secure data destruction have been in the media and public attention, eventually putting their organizations reputations at stake. Taking the short-cut with electronic recycling and improper practices can also cause strict legal actions against the organizations.
Metro Green has effectively managed and protected many Brands and their intellectual property through our secure ITAD services. Helping organizations avoid major data breaches caused by improper disposal of hard drives and IT assets is just the beginning of the process. We handle all the recycling of the assets according to the law and follow all the regulations. We have extended our services to even consult and give certificates to the organizations that have taken the effort to responsibly discard their IT assets with us.
We securely destroy your undesirable hard drives and other data devices utilizing our powerful portable shredders on location at your home or business centers. Hard disk degaussing is different from hard drive shredding in that it does not shred the devices but instead uses powerful magnets to scramble the data, rendering the hard drive useless. Degaussing machines are small and portable, making it easy to bring them into a home or office. Several of our customers use our onsite hard drive shredding services for added convenience and security as one can observe our secure ITAD processes in-person. We also make sure to collect and recycle all destructed electronic waste to limit its ecological effect.
