What Happens to Your Data After IT Equipment Disposal? | GTS

What Happens to Your Data After IT Equipment Disposal? | GTS

When businesses retire computers, servers, or storage devices, many people think the data simply disappears. In reality, sensitive information often remains accessible long after disposal.

Deleted files and factory resets do not fully remove information. Cybercriminals and unauthorized users can still recover sensitive records. If businesses ignore this risk, they expose themselves to data breaches, compliance violations, and reputational damage.

Deleting files only removes access to the data, not the information itself. Formatting a drive works the same way. Anyone with recovery software can retrieve that information. To prevent privacy risks, regulations like HIPAA and GDPR encourage businesses to permanently destroy data, not simply hide it.

Professional data destruction removes sensitive information completely and permanently. At GreenTek Solutions, our trained experts use certified data wiping or physical destruction methods to ensure no records are left behind. Each process follows strict compliance standards and includes proper documentation.

What happens to equipment once it’s all done? Once GreenTek Solutions removes all data, functional devices can reenter the market through resale or reuse. This process extends the life of IT assets and reduces electronic waste.

By choosing professional data destruction, businesses protect their records while supporting environmental responsibility. Contact GreenTek Solutions today for expert data destruction services.
