WHAT NEEDS TO BE SECURELY DESTROYED?

In order to adhere to data protection laws, all sensitive information must be destroyed securely. This includes all non-public information such as employee or customer data, or information whose disclosure could adversely affect a company’s competitive advantage in the marketplace.

All methods of information storage, not just paper files, are covered by the Data Protection Act 1998.

It is the main piece of legislation that governs protection of personal data in the UK. Organisations in the UK are legally obliged to comply with this Act.

As information can be created and stored on very different media, the management and protection of the information’s life cycle is key for every organisation. Paper is still the most common way of storing information, but computer disks, CDs, DVDs, backup tapes, video tapes, ID badges are also common media.

Iron Mountain is able to take care of the destruction of all your sensitive information for most media and formats.
