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.

-
Correspondence or other documents which
reveal personal details or pass comments
on a named living person or business
-
Staff personnel records
