Avoid Data Privacy Breaches with End-to-End Disposal Services

March 4, 2014

Experience the difference of end-to-end asset disposal services.

Nearly 90 percent of companies do not have a data destruction plan in place or understand how to destroy their data securely, according to a new study released by AERC Recycling Solutions. Here are examples of companies and organizations that failed to select the proper IT Asset Disposal vendor and or elected to dispose of important assets using their own employees without following the proper practices and procedures.

For anyone who doubts the extensiveness of how often data privacy breaches occur, or the dangerous exposure such breaches create, there are several up-to-date resources available to research organizations that have exposed their clientele and/or employee base as a result of unnecessary data privacy breaches.
