When you have been in a functional relationship for years, working together day in day out, it is hard to let go when the time comes. But to save your relationship, the best thing you can do other than erasing all memory is to completely destroy your hard drive data so it has no way of being used ever again.
In all seriousness with a relative increase in data breaches and the increase in online hackers you really cannot afford to just throw your obsolete computers away without erasing the data stored on them. Leaving such tech complete could leave you open to legal proceedings and data loss should the contents of your hard drive get into the wrong hands.
So, when it is time for a parting of the ways, make sure you engage the services of a registered waste removal company, who can certify destruction under the relevant regulations (such as WEE Recycling / BS.EN 15713/ ISO9001) and can also prove via a certificate of destruction or a downstream report to show how the other component parts of your computers have been recycled into other products, thus not only protecting your data but also considering the environmental impact of your old PC.
At S4B we have the technology to safely and securely shred your hard drive and downstream your redundant IT and can certify destruction to meet your responsibilities under ISO and GDPR. This can be done either at our business premises or if there are large quantities potentially at your site, both of which you are at liberty to watch the process of destruction. All our vehicles are securely tracked so we can monitor where your equipment is at any time prior to destruction.
“S4B were extremely prompt, kept me informed at each step and were super-efficient. I was thoroughly impressed and would not hesitate to use them again and recommend their services.”
