Data Deletion Services
The common problem with sensitive data is that deleted files are not really deleted and therefore may be recovered by interested parties, using data recovery software or in some instances with freeware from the internet. Most file systems only remove the link to the data. But even overwriting the disk with something else or formatting it does not guarantee that the sensitive data is completely unrecoverable.
Sienar Systems can help to protect your business from being a victim of identity theft and protect your company’s hard-earned reputation by using a variety of software applications which guarantee 100% secure cleaning of the hard drive. In addition, Sienar Systems will provide you with a detailed report of every erasure performed, thus you can be sure that all the data has been completely destroyed. Sienar Systems can also offer physical destruction of your media through shredding or smelting.
Unlike most other Data Deletion services offered in the marketplace, we refuse to use the quicker, easier, less secure methods of data deletion that could lead to the data being recovered through software or in a magnetic drive repair laboratory.
Sienar Systems run multiple deletion operations on your data, drive and free space to ensure that the data is completely unrecoverable. We use a combination of the most proven and appraised overwrite patterns for your piece of mind.

In the United States of America, the Justice Department has predicted that over ten million Americans will be the victim of identity theft in 2007 alone and that this type of electronic crime will increase in frequency over the coming years. Don't let your company data or personal details be taken from you, think proactive and give yourself piece of mind with the SIenar Systems Data Deletion service.
