Services
IT Media Shredding & Data Sanitisation Services
HPE Data Privacy Services bring your organization the necessary infrastructure support to help you protect and optimize sensitive data
across the entire IT lifecycle, while accelerating business innovation and complying with data security regulations. The need for data privacy
solutions and infrastructure support continues to rise at a very high rate due to current and future UK & EU Data Protection regulations
and the business risk mitigation associated with material management and control. When your organization is retiring systems, upgrading
storage and servers, returning leased equipment, or redeploying data storing devices, it is critical that you take steps to protect the
information they contain. Simply deleting or overwriting the files on the hard drive or other types of media, however, is not enough to make
the data permanently inaccessible.
HPE Data Sanitization Services provide the skilled resource, tools and equipment to help your organization address this important but
often overlooked security risk. Using specialized equipment, tools and software, an HPE service specialist or authorized service partner will
ensure that data can never be reconstructed or recovered from any media in your server and storage devices. These services meet all UK
Government Information Assurance standards (HMG IAS5) across all security classifications up to and including Top Secret.
