- GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)

Hard Drive Destruction: Why It Matters
Hard drive destruction isn’t just a best practice—it’s a legal and ethical requirement in many industries. Whether you’re upgrading systems, closing a business, or clearing out old storage devices, proper disposal is critical to avoid data breaches, identity theft, or regulatory fines.
Types of Devices We Destroy:
- Internal and external hard drives
- Solid-state drives (SSDs)
- Laptops and desktops
- Backup tapes and USBs
- Servers and data center equipment
With Allways Shred, you gain peace of mind knowing that your digital media is destroyed beyond repair, and that all processes meet national data destruction standards, including NAID AAA Certification protocols.
Is wiping or degaussing a hard drive enough to protect my data?
No. While wiping or degaussing a hard drive may make data harder to access, it doesn't guarantee complete destruction. Skilled individuals can still recover sensitive information from wiped drives. The only truly secure method is physical destruction, such as shredding, which ensures the data is 100% irretrievable. At Allways Shred, our hard drive destruction services meet the highest industry standards for data security and compliance.
