Multiple Hard Drives on Display

When a business or resident upgrades their computers they often overlook the need to dispose of the confidential information left on the hard drive. Since the problem is so prevalent, there are actually several laws in place to ensure companies adhere to the same high standards in protecting data when disposing of electronic components: HIPAA, SarBOX, GLB, and FACTA. Simply erasing the information on a hard drive is not good enough. There are programs that can be purchased, and these may erase some data, but some just delete the temporary files on the drive and the actual data remains. The data left behind could leave you exposed. There are available software programs that can be purchased that will restore information on the targeted hard drive. These programs can get into the wrong hands and give people access to your most confidential files.
