Hard drive destruction is the ONLY secure way to permanently destroy data

Southern California Shredding understands confidential information on hard drives can become the target of internet thieves and identity scandals. Information security is a critical issue facing individuals and businesses today. Daily we learn of another situation where confidential data has been compromised by hackers exposing your classified information. To help our clients protect their security, Southern California Shredding offers hard drive destruction services at our Orange County facility. We also coordinate this service to help patients in San Diego County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County with their hard drive destruction needs.

When a business or resident upgrades their computers they often overlook the need to dispose of the confidential information left on the hard drive. Since the problem is so prevalent, there are actually several laws in place to ensure companies adhere to the same high standards in protecting data when disposing of electronic components: HIPAA, SarBOX, GLB, and FACTA. Simply erasing the information on a hard drive is not good enough. There are programs that can be purchased, and these may erase some data, but some just delete the temporary files on the drive and the actual data remains. The data left behind could leave you exposed. There are available software programs that can be purchased that will restore information on the targeted hard drive. These programs can get into the wrong hands and give people access to your most confidential files.

FAQ

Answers Before You Book

Still have a question? Call our Lake Forest office at (949) 305-5511 and talk to a real person.

What should I shred?

Anything that could put your identity or your business’s privacy at risk. That includes records that laws like HIPAA and FACTA say you must destroy. Common examples: bank statements, tax records, pay stubs, cancelled checks, loan and insurance papers, medical and legal files, utility bills and credit cards. Shred anything with a Social Security or card number. Hard drives and digital media too.

What do I need to do before you arrive?

If you use our consoles or bins, leave them where our team can reach them. Keep CDs, hard drives and other media close by, but apart from the bins, so we can sort them for recycling. That’s it. We come on your day, shred it all on-site and give you a Certificate of Destruction.

How do you keep my information secure?

We are fully licensed and bonded. You get a Certificate of Destruction when every job is done. We can also give you a locked container. When it is full, our team takes it straight to the truck and feeds it into the shredder. You can watch it all on the truck’s monitor.

What does shredding cost?

Price depends on three things: how much you have, how it is packed, and how often you want service. There is no minimum. Call or ask for a quote, and we will give you an exact price for your needs. More does not always cost more. A monthly plan can even save you money.
