Maintaining Compliance with Secure Data Destruction Services

Osool Computer Systems uses professional file deletion methods that completely eliminate data from any type of device, protecting you from compliance violations and privacy issues. Federal, state, and local regulations change frequently to keep up with evolving privacy concerns, and failing to comply with these detailed rules can be expensive — penalties include lengthy audits and significant fines.

Every industry shares the challenge of maintaining digital privacy, but the codes that govern data disposal vary between applications.

Major data protection and security laws include:

  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
  • Federal Privacy Act
  • Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
  • Department of Defense 5200.01

Developing a Secure Data Deletion Plan for Your Business

Following NIST recommendations, our teams work with you to determine the best method of data destruction for your organization.

Consider the following questions when making a sanitization plan for storage media:

  • Does your company plan on reusing the storage device?
    The most common methods for secure data destruction require forfeiture of media. However, if you wish to reuse hard drives, servers, or other devices, we can perform successive overwrites to provide complete security without damaging media.
  • How can you keep your data secure during deletion?
    Choose a data recovery company with a proven track record of discretion. Osool Computer Systems has been a leader in the field of data recovery and deletion since 1998, and we have performed services for high-security clients including NASA, the Mayo Clinic and the Department of Homeland Security.
  • What is the environmental impact of secure file deletion?
    Digital storage devices sometimes contain heavy metals and other pollutants. If your device has reached the end of its operating life, our engineers can wipe the data and dispose of the physical device in an environmentally responsible manner.
  • How long does it take to securely delete files?
    Our engineers can complete secure data deletion processes within your schedule. All services are held to the same high standards, and successive checks ensure security.

We offer secure deletion options for every type of device. While we regularly work with hard drives and servers, our laboratories are also equipped with read/write technologies for all types of data tapes. In addition to secure deletion, we offer tape recovery and duplication services. Contact a customer service team member for more information.
