The Challenge for Every BusinessDeveloping a sound data protection strategy is one of the most complex tasks facing companies today. Failure to properly decommission just one storage asset can result in fines, damage to reputation, as well as civil and criminal liability.

Information is a critical and valuable asset to any organiza-tion. More and more regulations are being enforced at all levels to protect information and ensure that breaches are avoided. All organizations invest considerably in their IT departments when it comes to securing their data. Installing firewalls, password protocols and physical access safeguards in an e�ort to prevent data theft becomes a complex and time-consuming activity. However, an improper decommissioning of the data once the IT assets are retired from use could compromise all resources employed.

The Green SolutionOur services allow clients to avoid the physical destruction and degaussing of their digital media. Hard drives and storage devices are nearly 100% reusable after they have been properly eradicated. We help businesses preserve their electronic assets, in turn reducing waste and helping to preserve the environment.

Green Delete also lowers cost and enhances the productiv-ity of our clients by o�ering a smarter alternative to overwriting. Currently, the Department of Defense requires three levels of overwriting in order to consider a hard drive to be sanitized. However, it warns that there can be problems with "ine�ectiveness of the overwrite procedures, equipment failure (e.g., misalignment of read/write heads), or inability to overwrite bad sectors or tracks of information in inter-record gaps." (DoD Standard 5220.22-M)

The overwriting process itself is time consuming; it can take many hours or even days to complete depending on the size of the hard drive. This creates a substantial loss in produc-tivity in a large organization that may have hundreds of data storage devices to decommission and redeploy. Expense is also a concern, as the software requires a separate licensing fee for each hard drive to be overwritten.

Green Delete is simply a better solution.
