Why You Need to Erase Your Data

What is data erasing   
Data erasing, opposite to data retrieving, is the process when people positively want their data to be erased. Data erasure removes all information while leaving the disk operable, preserving IT assets and the environment.
Why erase your data

1. Theft of sensitive data: Leaving the sensitive information on your storage device might put your organization at risk for data theft.                                                                                               
2. Poor control of internal data accessibility: To limit access to sensitive information, an erasure product or services should be used to an employee’s computer when he leaves the company and before that computer is given to another employee. 
3. Regulatory compliance violations: Data erasure software or hardware will help your organization better meet regulations of data privacy and retention.
4. Simply deleting data from a hard drive does not mean that the data is gone forever.
