In the case of digital media, simply &#8220;deleting&#8221; a file from the media does not guarantee permanent data removal \u2013 the information remains stored, and recovery is possible even in a less specialized laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consequences of not properly destroying data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses and institutional representatives often downplay the issue of <strong>data destruction<\/strong> until they experience a leak of sensitive information. Violations of personal data protection regulations, such as the GDPR, can result not only in reputational damage but also in significant financial penalties, reaching up to \u20ac20 million or 4% of the annual global turnover from the previous financial year (whichever is higher).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data destruction \u2013 methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent data destruction can be performed in various ways, depending on the type of storage media.

However, when we compare the cost of a one-time investment in professional equipment with the potential losses resulting from a data leak, it turns out to be an expense that quickly pays for itself. Furthermore, owning your own device offers complete independence, security, and eliminates the need to engage third-party vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if for some reason purchasing hardware is not an option\u2014for example, due to the low frequency of data destruction\u2014you can use the services of external companies specializing in this field. Furthermore, proceed with caution, as many unprofessional companies operate without meeting basic security standards. When choosing a service provider, it&#8217;s worth ensuring that the company complies with applicable regulations, offers full process documentation, certificates confirming data destruction, and industry standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, in terms of long-term security and profitability, the best solution is to purchase the appropriate equipment. However, if we decide to outsource, it is crucial to thoroughly verify the reliability and quality of the service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you destroy data?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Data must be disposed of when it no longer serves its collected purpose or when its retention violates legal requirements. There are many examples of such situations. Here are some examples of possible situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Decommissioning or replacing IT equipment \u2013 before selling, repairing, or disposing of computers, servers, hard drives, flash drives, or memory cards, the data stored on them must be permanently destroyed, even if the device appears to have been &#8220;wiped.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expiration of the documentation retention period \u2013 legal regulations specify how long certain data must be retained. fter this period, it is not only permitted but required to be destroyed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End of a project or service \u2013 if data was collected for a specific project (e.g., a marketing campaign or a specific order), the data must be securely deleted after its completion, unless there are grounds for further storage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requesting the right to be forgotten by an individual (GDPR) \u2013 anyone can request the deletion of their data if the company or institution no longer has a legal basis for processing it. In such cases, the data must be permanently destroyed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Is investing in professional data destruction solutions truly necessary, or just another unnecessary expense generated by excessive caution?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media-destroyers-shredder"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Data destruction \u2013 necessity or unnecessary expense? - ProDevice<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"data destruction - Find out in what are the methods.
