Hard Drive Shredding (On and Off Site)
MBH Global offers both on and off site hard drive shredding, one of the most secure and complete methods of data destruction. Our hard drive shredding services ensure your sensitive data is permanently erased, protecting your business from potential data breaches and legal liabilities.
What is Hard Drive Shredding?
Hard drive shredding is a process that involves physically destroying hard drives using specialised equipment. The hard drives are fed into a shredder, which cuts them into small, unrecoverable pieces. This method ensures that all data stored on the hard drives is completely destroyed and cannot be retrieved by any means.
Why is Hard Drive Shredding important for your business?
In today's digital age, businesses store vast amounts of sensitive data on their hard drives. To prevent the data from falling into the wrong hands, it is crucial that the data is not accessible before the hard drive is disposed of. Shredding the hard drives is the most secure way to accomplish this, as the process physically destroys them, preventing data recovery from being possible.
Why use On Site Hard Drive Shredding?
When you choose on-site hard drive shredding through MBH, our friendly and professional team will arrive at your location in our specialised shredding van and shred your drives using the latest equipment, ensuring your information is destroyed securely and properly. There are several benefits of shredding on site, such as:
Convenience: Our mobile shredding unit comes to your location, saving you time and effort.
Transparency: You can witness the shredding process firsthand, ensuring your hard drives are properly destroyed.
Security: Your hard drives never leave your sight, reducing the risk of data breaches during transportation.
What is the standard for hard drive destruction?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends physical destruction as the most secure method for hard drive disposal. MBH Global's hard drive shredding services adhere to these standards.
Do other hard drive destruction methods work?
Although other methods, like overwriting and degaussing, may make the data unreadable, they are not as effective as physically shredding the hard drive. This method ensures complete destruction of data. Therefore, if you want to dispose of your old hard drives, it is highly recommended that you use a professional hard drive shredding service to ensure the complete destruction of your sensitive data.
Should I choose on-site or off-site hard drive shredding?
The choice between on-site and off-site hard drive shredding depends on your organisation's specific needs and preferences. On-site shredding offers convenience and transparency, while off-site shredding may be more suitable for larger volumes or if you have limited space at your location.
