circles-sitad-services

Failure to properly dispose of IT equipment can have serious consequences for your data, the environment, and your brand reputation. Go the extra step with your IT asset disposition program and ensure security and sustainability with a program that includes recycling, remarketing and compliant destruction of retired IT assets. Partnering with Iron Mountain will help you be POPIA compliant.

Secure Data Destruction (SDD) or data erasure is foundational to data protection and supporting compliance. Simply getting a certificate of destruction is not enough without adhering to compliance standards. Failure to follow proper standards could lead to reputation damage and financial fines. As per the NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization, degaussing is the recommended method for purging data on magnetic media.
