New Mobile E-Shredder Truck, Helping Organizations Retain Control During Disposal of Highly Sensitive Computer Hard Drives

HOUSTON – Technocycle continues to stay one step ahead in the technology disposal industry as it adds a new mobile E-Shredder truck to its list of secure and compliant technology disposal service options.

The mobile shredder efficiently destroys hard drives containing delicate data on or offsite and under the supervision of company administrators – ensuring that companies retain complete control of the disposal process from start to finish.

The new mobile E-Shredder truck facilitates the disposal of delicate E-waste when more than “wiping” a hard drive is required – physically shredding hard drives and tape media to ensure that all information is irretrievable, and completely destroying hard drives and disc media.

According to owner and founder Mike Buckles, Technocycle partners with clients to “manage liability” – and adding this new service option for the delicate handling, necessary compliance and highest level of security of data within the medical, financial, legal, government and other high security organizations – further reduces risks associated with disposing of E-waste both internally and externally.

“Our new mobile E-Shredder truck helps us better meet our client’s needs and provides another level of convenience, security and control during the disposal process,” said Buckles.

An EPA registered recycling center and the first Houston recycler to be recognized as an “E-Stewards Electronic Recycler,“ Technocycle ensures that all destroyed material is discarded in an eco-friendly manner – working with E-Steward processors to responsibly dispose of the remaining hazardous shredded materials.

Buckles and the entire Technocyle staff pride themselves on the caliber of recycling services they are able to provide companies and the role they play in responsible recycling. The company is the electronic recycling sponsor of the 2011 Mayor’s Green Office Challenge and Houston’s 2011 Green Week.

A week ago epsilon was just one of those greek letters no one really cared about outside of algebra and fraternity row. Now everyone internet savvy knows it as the name of the company that leaked email addresses and customer information for potentially millions of people. The real scope of the security breach is still unknown although Epsilon had some very high profile clients including Citibank, American Express, and Verizon (for a complete list check out DataBreaches.net

In the wake of something disruptive like this it is easy to start pointing fingers and feel angry at Epsilon’s laziness and/or disregard for proper security. The truth is it could happen to most of us. Without keeping you up at night, let me suggest we all have the worst kind of security holes–the ones we don’t even know are there. Recently a hospital in Tulsa notified some 84,000 patients that social security numbers and medical records may have been harvested from an old computer stolen out of storage.

Evidently St. Francis Health System didn’t see the stored computer as a security liability until it was to late. Undoubtably Epsilon made some mistakes leading up the security breach but, like St. Francis storing an old computer instead of disposing of it responsibly, the mistake maybe became clear only when it is too late.
