Common
Misconceptions:
Data Deletion:
With most operating systems, files that are
deleted are not really erased. In many cases, the only thing
erased is the logical link pointing to the file, so
confidential data remains recoverable by most any computer
specialist.
Reformatting:
Many companies
think that formatting a hard disk removes and destroys its
data, when in fact this data which can be highly
confidential or proprietary, can still be easily retrieved
though special processes called data recovery. An easy
solution for someone looking to mine your data for theft.
Complications:
Failing to
properly destroy discarded business, proprietary, patient,
customer, credit or other sensitive information will create
both legal and public relations nightmares.
Recommendations:
The National
Association of Information Data Destruction (NAID)
recommends that information destruction be outsourced to a
professional firm. Outsourcing allows firms and their staff
to concentrate on their core competencies.
