You increasingly hear about the security of the cloud and online accounts, but what about the physical devices that also hold your organization’s sensitive data? While data security is absolutely critical for day-to-day operations, don’t forget about the importance of corporate data security during the disposal of your IT assets and electronic equipment. Data breaches—however they occur—can cost companies tens of millions in fines and brand impairment.

Proper recycling of electronic devices entails complete disassembly and sorting of parts. One very important aspect of this process is ensuring all data are wiped and destroyed. Federal legislation like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) set rigorous standard for protecting sensitive medical and financial data. G & C Technologies focuses on compliance with all federal, state and industry regulations in the most cost-effective manner as possible.
