What Is Data Wiping & Why Do It

Most people have some data that they would rather not share with others - passwords, personal information, classified documents from work, financial records, self-written poems, and most importantly with the rise in online shopping your credit card payment data.

Your first thought may be that when you 'delete' the file, the data is gone.

Not quite, when you delete a file, the operating system does not really remove the file from the disk; it only removes the reference of the file from the file system table. The file remains on the disk until another file is created over it, and even after that, it might be possible to recover data by studying the magnetic fields on the disk platter surface.

What Do CK Technical Services Do ?

To be sure that your data is removed beyond all practical ability to recover it, CK Technical Services will use a wiping utility. These tools overwrite every sector of the hard drive with binary 1's and 0's. These tools, that meet government security standards, even overwrite each sector multiple times for added protection.

Other Information

NB All data will be erased and cannot be retreieved . It is assumed that you have backed up any data you require. However we can help with this for a small cost.
Standard cost is £ 20.00, although discounts may be available .
