Most electronics contain storage devices. Notebooks, desktops and even copiers contain hard drives or flash memory. When these devices are disposed of, third parties can access sensitive company information. Information can even be retrieved from a formatted hard drive using off the shelf software.
With the introduction of POPI (Protection of Personal Information Act) and the imposed penalties, this has become a bigger concern to companies.

- Compliant Data Erasure: data is erased using software that meets the requirements of NIST-800-88, the international best practice for data destruction.
