Data protection remains a vitally important topic for every company. Insufficient data protection can have grave consequences, not just for the IT employee responsible but for the entire business.

Secure deletion of data is one of the primary aspects of data protection for your company, essential to keeping sensitive data permanently safe and secure.

Legal data protection regulations enforce this obligation too but companies should meet it willingly and with their best interests at heart. After all, no company wants its’ customer data landing in the wrong hands.

Our study entitled "Deutschland Deine Daten" ("Germany - your data") revealed that many companies fail to give the disposal of old data enough attention, despite strict legal obligations and industry recommendations. In many cases internal company information, such as data saved on old storage media, is carelessly passed on to third parties.
