Data Destruction

Why do I need to destroy my data?
Would you like another fund to know your trading positions? Could they front run you if they had a complete history on you current and past trades? Usually, hedge funds don’t realise the problems with data leakage or that it is even possible to recover data from disposed equipment and or paperwork.

What do I need to do to securely destroy my data?
Training and awareness, robust on-site data destruction techniques, Lockable waste data bins. Or just hire Securm on an annual basis and we can collect and destroy your data.

How do you destroy our data?
Paper: We will burn all paper that requires destroying. All ash is then used in a fertiliser mix.

Hard Drives\Back up tapes: are physically destroyed and rendered unusable. The remains are then disposed of in line with government Weee directives.

Equipment: Where appropriate, devices are wiped using industry standard techniques. Where this is unreasonable or pointless, the devices will be destroyed and disposed of inline with government Weee directives.
