Secure Media & Hard Drive Destruction in Illinois
Why Secure Hard Drive Destruction Matters
When old hard drives and electronic media aren’t properly destroyed, sensitive data remains accessible even after deletion. That puts your business at risk of identity theft, data leaks, and compliance violations. Our certified destruction service ensures all data is completely unrecoverable through secure, chain-of-custody destruction procedures.
Types of Media We Destroy
Identifying and properly destroying the various types of media available is no easy task. AAA Certified Confidential Security Corporation (CSC) is certified for the secure destruction of all types of media including hard drives, solid state media, removable media and micro media. We serve both commercial clients and residential customers throughout Illinois, and we’ve been in the business since 1984.
Hard Drive Destruction
