The importance of data wiping

At a time when small and large companies rely on their electronic devices for the most important business operations, all stored data from these operations must be properly protected. But at the end of the life cycle of the machine, or when you decide to hand it over for recycling or sell it to an ITAD and refurbishment company like ITAD BG, all available information on this device must be deleted. This should be done in order to ensure your security and that of your company.

What is Data Wiping?

Data wiping is a specialized service offered by reliable ITAD companies, certified in performing this activity, such as ITAD BG.

This type of data removal is not just pressing the "Delete" button and thinking that all the data is gone. Even if you do so, much of the data and information contained on the device can be recovered.

Data Wiping is a process in which the information becomes unreadable. It does not delete the data, but overwrites it until it becomes completely incomprehensible. This type of data destruction offers many advantages. In addition to protecting your company from confidential data leaks, instead of being destroyed, the devices can be reused without any risk.

Depending on the company's desire, data wiping can happen in several ways - to overwrite it once or several times.

Benefits of Data Wiping

Data wiping enables machines handed over for recycling, sold for refurbishment or to individuals not to become a vulnerable unit for leakage of confidential and personal data, making the information contained on the HDD / SSD drives unreadable and incomprehensible. This is one of the most secure ways to protect your business from possible cyber-attacks.

This type of data destruction is a great solution for your company if you have decided to remove your old IT equipment and do not want any risk of data leakage.

For this purpose, it is necessary to turn to a specialized company performing ITAD activity and offering data wiping as a service.
