The new dangers of personal Data on mobile devices

CW Technology understands the inherent risks created for corporations and governments, through the disposal process of any mobile devices. Data breaches can be crippling to a company and its investors, creating public relations nightmares and far reaching legal ramifications.

Confidential company and customer information is easily compromised through improper handling of de-commissioned IT assets and mobile devices. Therefore a locked down process should be implemented to eliminate any exposure to both fines and litigation.

Over the past few years a number of laws and compliance standards have been ratified both locally and internationally dictating data erasure processes for large corporations and government agencies these include but are not limited to:
• Australian Government - Defense Signals Directorate ACSI 33
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley
• FACT Act
• HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
• Sarbanes-Oxley
Corporate officers and directors can have exposure to both civil and criminal liability for noncompliance with these laws/acts. Cw technology is able to eliminate the risk, by implementing a number of tailored data destruction processes for all systems containing stored data on any devices.
