Secure Hard Drive & Data Destruction

Data destruction services are a crucial component of modern information security, offering a safe and reliable means of disposing of sensitive data and protecting against data breaches.

Hard Drive Destruction

 

Computers are an essential part of securing confidential information like employee records, financials, proprietary documents and health data, but there comes a time when this information trail must end. Hard drive failures and the need for more advanced or faster systems are common reasons for the useful life of a computer to be over.

Unfortunately, you can’t simply toss a hard drive in your trashcan and rest assured that it will be safe from data breaches or information theft. The only way to ensure proper destruction of the files stored on your computer hard drive is through a secure data destruction process, which Gilmore understands and follows.

Yes! Gilmore provides electronic recycling, E-waste (electronic waste) handling and ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) services.

Do you offer an information security guarantee?
All shredding companies should guarantee to keep your confidential documents secure from the time they receive them until the time your documents are destroyed. Yet few shredding companies offer any such guarantee. Gilmore provides an Information Security Guarantee to all of our customers.
