Going Green and Secure all with One New Initiative

At Retriever Waste Management, we are constantly on the lookout for new ways to help you dispose of your waste and recycle materials using methods that are kind to Mother Earth, while accounting for your company's and clients' security. Given that, we're pleased to announce that RWM has partnered with a notable US company which specializes in digital data destruction and recycling. Unlike processes such as shredding, which simply destroys digital media (tapes, disc drives, DVDs, etc), our partnership allows RWM to offer data destruction that safely removes all digital data and information from media prior to recycling. From there, we recycle 100% of all by-products, making the process a truly “green” one.

 

What is Digital Data Destruction?

Digital data destruction is a multi-tiered process. First, we work with you to evaluate the scope of your project and form a plan to remove data and dispose of the media. From there, we determine, according to the type of media, the best process to remove 100% of the data and information contained on the media. Finally, we provide Certificates of Destruction which “change of custody”, relieving you of any liability related to information contained on the media.

 

In corporate America , digital data destruction is becoming an increasingly popular option for businesses that want to dispose` of hardware and media in a safe and cost effective way without compromising security or the environment.

 

No Data Left Behind

The myriad regulations and compliance laws that have forced businesses to properly dispose of digital records has prompted this need for secure and complaint data destruction. From the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, to Sarbanes Oxley, to HIPAA, regulations are increasingly stringent and businesses are under pressure to protect confidential data at all costs, through data's entire lifecycle.

 

Digital data destruction aids businesses in regulatory compliance, other benefits to digital data destruction with RWM include:

 

•  Patented equipment which is designed for handling safe destruction of classified data for the military

•  Process leaves no data on the media which could be recovered by conventional forensic methods

•  An ISO 9002 compliant “audit” procedure to ensure sensitive media is consistently handled with the same process time and time again

•  HIPAA, FACTA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. Our 100% green process is complete data eradication and recycling through local recycling channels.
