One of the greatest issues when recycling/disposing the old IT equipments and media like HDD is the effective removal of the personal/sensitive data. The Data Protection Act 1998 (a United Kingdom Act of Parliament) makes it mandatory to have appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data. The act further defines the measures necessary for data protection with respect to personal data.

At ECWS, we make sure that the data is removed from the media & equipments to comply with the laws. We use a scientific data erasing technique to erase the personal data from HDD and other Media. Our process makes sure that the drive is beyond use and retrieval of data from the media is impossible.
