Industry-Leading Data Erasure Practices

When the time comes to the disposing of retired IT assets, it’s important to consider the most appropriate method of protecting the sensitive data on any hard disks or tape storage contained within each machine. You need to consider the security of your organisation as well as any federal or state security regulations that might be applicable to your industry.

Many organisations opt to destroy retired data storage assets to prevent data falling into the wrong hands. Alpha Sonic Systems offer secure On and offsite data destruction services that provide an easy way for organisations to properly dispose of their retired assets with peace of mind, as well as onsite data erasure and destruction services.
