Why Is Hard Drive Shredding So Important?
Hard Drive Shredding is important because many IT professionals (and individuals) believe that erasing information on a hard drive is a pretty easy thing to accomplish when in fact, it isn’t. Stellar released a study in 2019 that revealed that over 71% of the 311 devices they analyzed contained PII [Personally Identifiable Information], personal data and business information. Two hundred and twenty two of the devices studied were disposed sold into the secondary market without using proper data erasure tools which means these devices were sold off with all of this data still on them.
Of the one hundred and fifty one hard drives included in the study, sixty nine of them had data left on them which included photos, videos, identification cards, business documentation, banking info, sales deeds, partnership agreements, invoice bills, and more.
Have you ever wondered how much it costs a company if they violate HIPAA Regulations because a patient’s personal information is divulged due to improper Media or Data Storage destruction and handling? It cost the Cancer Care Group $750,000 in 2016.
Thieves know where to look for media and hardware that has been improperly disposed of, and your company is often liable for where your customers data ends up. One of the only ways to truly make sure your hard drives don’t divulge sensitive information is to shred them.

Electronic components like hard drives are terrible for the environment. When we shred your hard drive, none of those components will end up in a landfill – or in an overseas landfill – or an overseas “chop shop” – or worse, in the ocean. It is true – all of these things can happen and do happen every day. But if you work with us, you can rest easy knowing that we verify ALL of our downstream vendors. We know precisely where your materials end up. We verify it because we care a great deal about the environment and we know our customers do too.
But beyond just caring about the environment – if it is YOUR e-waste, it is your responsibility to ensure it is disposed of properly. The last thing you want is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) showing up at your workplace to commence investigating you because they found your electronic components improperly disposed of. The fines and the cost of environmental remediation can be astronomical. Where your e waste ends up matters.
