How to sell data Eradication to a Skeptic
Data is the lifeline of a business. Everything from your customer contacts, financials, internal procedures, and proprietary information come in the form of data. And hence, when this data is stored on an electronic device or across a network of devices, the process of data destruction gets trickier. And hence it is important for the IT teams and management of a company to ensure that the best practices of hard drive destruction and IT asset disposition are put in place to avoid a data breach or data leak.
Sometimes, to save costs these teams end up compromising on the security of the data by stockpiling their old computers and hard drives in a dark room or sell these devices at a lower rate to third parties without understanding that a data breach could cost a bunch of negative results to the company such as noncompliance, brand damage, negative media coverage, loss of customers, loss of revenue, regulatory fines, prosecution, and legal fees.
