Alternatives to Shredding

For individuals or small businesses, there are other ways to secure data without industrial shredding:

• Degaussing: This method uses strong magnets to disrupt the hard drive’s magnetic field, erasing the data. However, it may not be as thorough as shredding.
• Software Overwriting: Data-wiping software can overwrite hard drive data multiple times, but it might not be as reliable for sensitive information as physical destruction.

Choosing a Shredding Service

When selecting a hard drive shredding service, consider the following:

• On-site vs. Off-site: Some companies offer on-site shredding, where a mobile shredder comes to your location, providing immediate and visible data destruction.
• Security Standards: Ensure the provider complies with recognized data destruction standards like NAID AAA (National Association for Information Destruction).
• Cost: Prices vary based on location, the number of hard drives, and whether on-site shredding is requested.
