Why use our products?

Growing personal privacy concerns have made the issue of data security more important than ever. The frenzy of activity in both state and federal governments surrounding the topic of electronic waste disposal has made it one of today's hot legislative issues and eliminating confidential data before discarding computers has become a requirement for most organizations.

Several laws now require businesses to take critical steps to ensure that no personal data is left on disposed hard drives. The following is a list of select regulations and guidelines that address compliance with data security and proper data destruction and disposal:

• GLB (Graham-Leach-Billy Act)
• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
• FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act)

Compliance and Peace of Mind

Stay in compliance with all regulations and guidelines and ensure that your data is properly disposed of with Proton's products and services. Simply deleting files, using software, or physically destroying data is insufficient. The only true way to erase your sensitive data is to degauss it. Don't let your organization become the victim of a data breach due to the improper disposal and/or handling of electronic media. Data breaches can cost millions of dollars, tarnish the good reputation of a business, lead to identity theft and even jeopardize national security.
