Hard drive destruction requires more than merely erasing the data

DE PERE, Wis. - June 6, 2018 - PRLog -- ARMS Inc. uses specialized equipment for hard drive destruction
As obvious as document shredding is for protecting sensitive information contained on paper, it is surprising how often digital data is left unprotected by inadequate hard drive destruction. ARMS Inc., a leader in off-site document storage, provides destruction services that make it virtually impossible for thieves to access digital information.

Destroying hard drives requires much more than simply erasing the data. Criminals with advanced technology skills can easily access data from hard drives that have been erased, damaged to a certain extent, or simply thrown in the dumpster. ARMS uses equipment specializing in hard drive destruction to render the data held by these devices inaccessible.

ARMS holds AAA certification from the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). Our equipment can also break down other micro media such as microfilm, computer tapes, CDs and DVDs into small pieces, meeting Department of Defense specifications for particulates down to 1/64 of an inch. We take scans of bar codes or serial numbers for each device we destroy for audit tracking purposes, and our customers receive a certificate of destruction for their records.

Other benefits to hard drive destruction
Avoiding the fines possible from data breaches is a major benefit of hard drive destruction. Improperly retiring hard drives and other computer assets is a leading cause of data breaches. ARMS's professional staff can help your organization remain compliant with the numerous regulations that govern privacy and data storage.

You can count on ARMS to provide the hard drive destruction services your organization needs to ensure data security.
