Protecting Personal Identifiable Information (PII)

- Personal identifiable information (PII) is any data that can be used to identify an individual, such as names, addresses, social security numbers, or financial account details.

- When stored on hard drives, PII becomes highly vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches.

- Secure hard drive destruction guarantees the complete destruction of these digital assets, ensuring that PII remains confidential and cannot be exploited for malicious purposes.
