Data Decommissioning
What should an organization do with obsolete PCs and hard drives? Should it simply delete the data and throw the drives away? What about reformatting, or using software to "block overwrite" the data? Is it safe to use a third party data shredding service? What about de-gaussing?
Hard drive data decommissioning is a very real and often under-prioritized component of an organization's overall data lifecycle and data security program. Many organizations deal with old computer systems and hard drives by simply throwing them in the trash, or by storing them in closets and drawers. Existing solutions such as data deletion, hard drive reformatting, third party destruction, software overwriting, and even magnetic de-gaussing are costly, inconvenient, and often ineffective. Organizations need an effective solution that maintains care, custody, and control of sensitive data.
infoLock Technologies has independently verified that existing data destruction techniques and tools often do not destroy data beyond forensic recovery.
Fortunately, with new technologies for hard drive decommissioning, cleaning and re-using old hard drives can be a safe, convenient, cost-effective, and scalable data security activity. infoLock Technologies provides cutting-edge data decommissioning tools that enable organizations to proactively manage their data destruction needs. These tools help you take control of data at the end of its "lifetime", providing turn-key regulatory compliance and genuine peace of mind.
