Please Think Before You Choose a Data Destruction Supplier!
We really urge you to think before you choose a data destruction supplier.
Would you hand-over thousand of pounds sterling in cash to a person or company you found on the internet who claimed they were "honest" on their web site? No, you would seek third party verification of their claims first.
Likewise, the sensitive data your are disposing of now is probably worth thousands of pounds in the wrong hands. So don't hand it over without thinking!
The supplier and its staff might be as honest as the day is long...but then they might not. How do you know?
The data destruction market features many operators who make unsubstantiated claims about security but lack basic security measures. For example, they don't vet their staff, they collect your confidential data on an open-backed lorry and leave hard drives lying around in unsecured areas. There are also many companies who make make unverifiable claims about having MOD or CESG approval and use the of MOD or CESG equipment and processes.
Whichever supplier your use - choose one that can substantiate their security claims and has certificates from third parties to prove it.
If you hand over your sensitive data to the wrong company you could be significantly increasing the risk to your confidential information and reputation rather than reducing it.
