Private and confidential data stored on a computer system's hard drive represents the greatest legal and economic risk in the disposal process.
Reformatting or "F-disking" the drive does not remove the data stored. It simply removes the file markers that allow an end user to rewrite over the drive but it does nothing to destroy the data. This leaves you liable for all the sensitive data that remains on the drive.
Newmarket can cost effectively perform thorough data destruction on your hard drives that will meet the stringent standards enforced by the Department of Defense (5220.22M standard) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act standard). Newmarket will even generate a Certificate of Destruction for each job received.
