Hard Drive Shredding & Destruction

Completely Eliminate Your Data By Shredding Your Hard Drives

The amount of information stored on a hard drive can represent an enormous quantity of client and personal data. With identity theft becoming commonplace in our world, it is no longer adequate to simply erase this information from hard drives before they’re discarded. Unfortunately, deleting files from a computer hard drive does not erase the data; it only removes the file name from the file directory. Any data—including personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI)—is still very much recoverable. A determined individual can still extract that data, even with less-than-sophisticated methods.

If you are wondering how to permanently destroy the data on a hard drive, physical destruction is the most secure and only sure-fire way to do that. Stevens & Stevens’ hard drive destruction services offer a secure and complete method for the disposal of your organization’s hard drives.
