Tape destruction

End-of-life data and tape destruction is a cost-effective and proactive technique for managing your organisation’s data, and it can result in multifaceted benefits and alleviate a multitude of potential pitfalls.

The importance of end-of-life tape data destruction

Blushing organisations and angry red faced customers have become a reoccurring theme in the media. Damaging to revenue and reputation, data breaches and data loss can severely impact an organisation’s customer confidence, not to mention the potential financial impact of increasingly severe fines from regulatory bodies such as the ICO.

Maintaining permanent data availability is only one element of a successful IT infrastructure and ESI strategy – secure, end-of-life data destruction can make or break an organisation. It is therefore vital that tape destruction is carried out in an effective manner to ensure that data contained on tape media is not accessed or available to unauthorised individuals.
