Do you need a confidential media destruction service?
The majority of businesses will have a substantial amount of secure information that is stored confidentially and then needs to be destroyed. For some businesses this may be largely in paper form, however more and more businesses are moving towards only storing data digitally. However, this means that companies must be careful to diligently dispose of any media that they are no longer using – whether this is hard drives, DVDs or CDs, or other storage devices such as SIM cards or USB memory sticks.
Responsibility towards customers
Whatever the medium, businesses handling customer data are legally required to comply with data protection legislation within the UK. Failure to do so can lead to significant long-term damage to your business and also your customer. If data stored is not disposed of properly, then this data could be found and used maliciously by a third party. Not only can this result in legal consequences and hefty fines and compensation to pay, but long term brand and reputation damage.
