Cintas Expands Document Management Services with New Nationwide Hard Drive Destruction Program

Business Wire
Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:CTAS), the leader in document
management services, today launched its hard drive destruction
program. The new service safely and efficiently destroys computer
hard drives through a compliant recycling process, eliminating
risks of data breaches and helping organizations stay compliant
with state and federal disposal laws.
“Many discarded hard drives contain information that is
confidential and recoverable,” said Karen Carnahan, President and
COO, Cintas Document Management. “Complete destruction is the best
way to protect this sensitive business data. Our certified solution
offers organizations the assurance that confidential files will not
be exposed and they will remain compliant with data privacy
standards.”
With the Cintas hard drive destruction program, two background
checked secure service representatives collect the hard drives and
scan and log each serial number at the time of service. They then
physically destroy the hard drives onsite in a secure Cintas truck
using state-of-the-art shredders. All destroyed hard drives are
collected in locked transportation bins and a manifest of each
destroyed hard drive is created, along with a Certificate of
Destruction for proof of service. For added peace of mind,
customers can view all hard drives to ensure they are destroyed
before the truck leaves the parking lot.
Typical hard drive destruction methods come with many risks
because they are time consuming, prone to human error and, in many
cases, not compliant with disposal laws. Additionally, compliance
with data confidentiality rules carries risk of serious financial
penalties. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) allows fines of up to $250,000 and 10
years in prison for each violation of patient health information
privacy rules.
