Data Erasure Service
Data is a crucial asset that needs stringent protection. While businesses often secure active data, they sometimes neglect unused data, leaving it vulnerable. Simply deleting data does not prevent potential recovery by hackers. Given that data protection laws like PDPA in Singapore cover both active and inactive data, it is essential to ensure that data is irreversibly & permanently erased to maintain security and compliance.
Arkiva’s offers comprehensive data erasure services that guarantee your sensitive information is permanently removed, providing peace of mind and regulatory compliance.
Arkiva’s certified destruction and data erasure services ensure the safety of your data and the environment.
