Why Destroy Any Device that Stores Information

Hard Drives, SSDs, Thumb Drives, Cell Phones, Tablets — you get the idea. The risks tied to improper disposal of data-storing devices are well documented. Laws and regulations not only recommend secure destruction but also hold the data owners accountable in case of breaches. This makes preventative destruction essential for maintaining trust, legal compliance, and your business reputation.
