Your data is important to you for a number of reasons, but consider how important your data is to a thief!

Most companies take time and effort to secure the data their business relies on by backing it up regularly. A disaster affecting the company can bring it to its knees unless it is able to get back up and running and trading in a relatively short period of time.

The RQ Consultancy has always offered advice and services on how best to secure company data. But to this we now add our 'Data Destruction Service'.

This may sound like a strange service to offer but your data probably has more value to organised crime.

When disposing of computers, servers, laptops, hand-helds and media such as tapes, it is vital that the device is cleaned of any data that might be valuable. Without you realising it, your computer will be holding important information such as bank account details and passwords. These can be easily recovered by a thief and used to gain access to bank accounts, email accounts and other important information.

The Data Destruction Service removes all such information from equipment that is being disposed of. In the case of computers and servers the hard drives are physically removed from the machine, wiped clean using software conforming to US Department of Defence security standards and finally taken apart and broken up.

Please call us when you wish to dispose of computer equipment to discuss the best way of making sure you don't hand over the keys to your business with it.
