Data Destruction

Can you imagine what would happen if all of the confidential information left behind on hard drives at all the attorneys (solicitors in other parts of the world) who handle family law cases, such as ours, were stolen? Even our children's information, as part of a family law case, would be in jeopardy! What happens when attorneys throw obsolete computers away? Without hard disc data destruction, the potential for identity theft is huge! Not just attorneys but other businesses such as corporations and insurance companies carry quite a bit of personal data for quite a lot of people.

One way to ensure the destruction of this data is to clean the data from hard drives. It takes a specialized software in order to do this and not leave remnants behind that a general lay person wouldn't realize but identity thieves would.

Another option is the use of industrial shredders. I am not talking about the small paper shredders we can buy anywhere. Industrial shredders can not only shred hard drives but the back up tapes and cds we've used to back up those hard drives.

Finally, a third option for destroying personal data is to put this hardware into a furnace where they are smelted. This ultimately destroys any chance for an identity thief to get hold of them.

Enviro Friendly Computing, Ltd. does all of this and they do it "green" which means they do business with the least amount of impact on the environment within the computer world. In my world, it means recycling plastics, glass, and paper which we do here at home and our children's school. In their world, it means reducing waste, recycling, and reusing by supplying refurbished computers, digitalising data to reduce paper use, collecting empty toners, and more.

It's important for businesses to take the initiative to operate with the least impact on the environment as they can have a huge influence on our supply of natural resources. Enviro Friendly Computing, Ltd. conducts business in a responsible manner and cares about the environment.
