AllPro Technologies is serious about ID theft, HIPPA compliance and data security. Are you thinking of getting a new computer? What will you do with the old one? What about your personal data?
Your old hard drive could have years of personal information stored on it. Everything from passwords, photos, documents, tax returns, and banking records. Just hitting delete on the keyboard will not permanently destroy your digital fingerprint.
If you are serous about protecting your identity (and you should be) let us completely sanitize your hard drive for you. We use a DOD approved procedure to securely erase all data from your hard drive. We offer this service to residential and business customers. The procedure is simple, bring in your old computer or hard drive, and we will take care of the rest.

New regulations require you to have a customer privacy policy in place. Your policy must include secure document retirement in order to be compliant with recent acts, including:
Secure document retirement ensures that a discarded paper document or deleted electronic file is rendered unrecoverable. Most companies already have a policy to destroy paper documents, however, few companies have such a policy for electronic files. A compliant secure document retirement policy will ensure that both paper and electronic information are properly disposed of.
A single improperly discarded computer or electronic file can contain hundreds or thousands of sensitive customer records. The failure of companies to properly discard customer information is contributing to one of the fastest growing crimes in the world: identity theft.
Is your data destruction policy compliant? Give us a call. Well can securely erase any hard drive or help you develop a secure document retirement plan for your entire business.
