I have taken over a small company (as in, I’ve helmed it for less than 2 years) and I have discovered a “build-up” of old devices that are basically unusable but could still contain financial or other sensitive data. I did some googling and found a few places that do device destruction – on the extreme end, they will drill holes through the hard drives and send you a video of the process if you so desire, but they want a whopping ï¿¥49000 per device. The non-drill option (they just take it, format it, and refurbish it) only costs about ï¿¥10000 per device.
Does anyone else have a go-to for this sort of thing?
You can be honest if you think I am paranoid and think I should just sell them to GEO or something. But I should mention, some of the devices no longer have power adapters nor power on, so the harddrives could not be say, formatted 7 times or whatever. Also, some of them are older than the company fax machine (Which I will never abandon)
Apologies if this is the wrong sub to ask this in, but I have found it to be the most helpful, mature, and thoughtful Japan sub on Reddit.
