THE ONLY SURE WAY!

- Physical destruction of hard drives, solid-state drives, and digital media is the only reliable method to permanently destroy data.

- Stockpiling old drives leaves you vulnerable to data breaches and theft.

- Confidential information stored on drives and eMedia is a target for data thieves.

WARNING: Data restoration risks:

- Erasing, reformatting, wiping, or degaussing data may still be restorable.

- Solid-state drives (SSDs) cannot be degaussed.

- Erasing and overwriting data is not 100% safe.

- Actual data can remain, making restoration possible by information thieves.

Improper destruction can lead to costly breaches and liability:
