According to one of recent reports, the average cost of a Data Breach to a business can be as high as USD 3.9 million. As highly evolving businesses generate increasingly unprecedented quantities of data at a progressively high-speed, securing data becomes exceedingly crucial. For medium to large enterprises, the process of asset disposition can often be of high risk if the storage drives in obsolete electronic equipment are disposed of without following strict & secure data wiping procedures.

It is crucial for companies, planning disposal of end of life equipment or embarking on hardware refresh programs, to utilize secure data wiping methods recommended by international regulatory bodies such as US DoD, NIST and Gartner for ensuring complete and permanent data sanitization from the relevant storage drives.
