How can you be safe about Data Destruction?
When you destroy data on a hard drive, the goal is to make it totally and permanently unreadable regardless of the form of electronic media on which it was originally stored. The process of data destruction also includes ensuring that this data cannot be recovered and used for unauthorized purposes.
Destroying data means it can no longer be read by an operating system or application. Merely deleting a file is insufficient. When you delete a file on an electronic device, you may not be able to see it any longer, but the information is still stored on the device’s hard drive or memory chip. Data destruction entails overwriting the current data with random data until the current data can no longer be retrieved, or actually destroying the electronic medium.
Why Data Destruction Matters
In a day and age when companies of all sizes depend upon electronic media for their most important business operations, all the data created by this equipment needs to be securely protected. But at the end of its lifecycle, it also needs to be securely destroyed. You may have important information that you are not interested in sharing with anyone. Your company has legal requirements for data destruction, particularly if you operate on a global scale where different countries and different regions can have different legal requirements concerning destroying data.
So the importance of destroying all data would seem to be obvious. Yet according to some studies, as many as 10 percent of all second-hand hard drives sold over the Internet still hold personal information. And it’s not just individuals who fail to destroy all data.
It’s important for any organization to consider several important factors before they choose how to destroy the old data.
Time: Is this something the company regularly does or has it stockpiled old data storage equipment to do a large amount at once? Each of the different methods explored below operates on a different timescale. Knowing how much time you want to spend on data destruction can influence the choice of method.
Cost: Can your company afford to get rid of old equipment? Or is it interested in reusing older electronic media for new purposes? Again, the answer to this question will determine the type of destruction method you want to use.
Validation and certification: If you are destroying data because it’s a legal requirement or a regulatory issue within your industry, make sure the method you choose allows you to show that you have met any standards or requirements for data destruction.
