Maybe you've been asking yourself a few of the following questions. Questions like…

" Are my current media destruction methods putting me & my company at risk of being victims of (and responsible for) identity theft or other similar threats?
" If anyone should ever ask, does our company have a firm (preferably written) media destruction policy and accountability certificates and receipts of all items destroyed?

If you responded with a "No," to either of these questions, you are potentially at risk for legal action, or even worse, total corporate meltdown. In 2002, 7 million Americans became victims of identity theft. If even one of them had been able to prove that your company, through negligence or ignorance, was responsible for the information leak, you'd be facing some serious legal action and financial consequences.

Wouldn't you rather be able to rest assured that all private information belonging to your employees and clients is completely safe and secure, even after it's been hauled away to be destroyed?

Plenty of companies out there offer document destruction. Heck, for that matter, you can buy a shredder at your local big box store. But it does not shred your media. Try it. It just grinds to a screaching halt and dies.

Where can you turn?

Well, before you decide to turn to "data wiping" to handle your unneeded media, keep in mind that there is forensics software on the market capable of recovering wiped fragments. This means that your competition, or just your average data thief, could still find a way to worm their way into your company's private (or even top secret) information.

Statistics say that physical destruction is the best method around, especially if you're looking for peace of mind.
