Today, all computers, even small ones like phones or watches, are powerhouses that store tons of information. It might not be obvious, but your devices have plenty of personal and sensitive information stored on them that can be harmful in the wrong hands. Failure to securely erase data leads to heightened vulnerability to identity theft and other things that may put you in harm’s way. For your security and privacy, it’s best to destroy all data on devices you no longer use. For larger organizations and corporations, proper data destruction ensures you stay compliant with all laws and policies. It can help protect your employees’, customers’, and patients’ private information.
