Data Destruction

Where is Your Data Going?

In the Age of Information, Secure Data Destruction is an important base to have covered when disposing of IT assets. The advent of Cloud Computing and Big Data pose new challenges for privacy protection and avoiding data leakages. More devices now contain data and information than ever before.

To help protect individuals and organisations from privacy and data breaches, new amendments to the Privacy Protection Act 1988 have been enacted. On 12th March 2014, the Office of Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) began enforcing a harmonised set of 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), with harsh penalties for privacy and data breaches.

Devices such as mobile phones and network equipment are items often overlooked as a source of data breaches. Devices that may contain confidential or private information which may be result in a data or privacy breach if not properly disposed of include:

  • Computers & Laptops
  • Mobile Phones & Tablets
  • Servers and Network Equipment
  • External Hard Drives
  • USB thumb drives
  • CDs and DVDs
  • Printers & Copy Machines

Take Control of Data Disposal

Before disposing of potentially sensitive items for recycling or re-use, you should always check to ensure that the service provider through which you are disposing of these items is appropriately qualified to provide a safe, secure and permanent solution.

Take control of what happens to your data by using a Secure Data Destruction service to safely dispose of your old or damaged equipment.

Total Green can provide you with safe, secure and cost effective solutions to suit the requirements of your organisation:
