[i]Houston, TX April 11, 2012[/i]-Bass Computers,Inc.(BCI®)
just launched a new shredding service -hard drive shredding- to help its clients protect data. Simply installing software to erase the hard drives does not guarantee all the data is removed. Physical data destruction by a hard drive shredder is the only option to ensure all confidential information on a
hard drive is destroyed.

“When organizations or corporations upgrade their technology, they have many options when disposing of their old computers.Some organizations donate the items to charity, some auction the items off, and still others sell or give the items to their employees,” says Paul Campbell, Director of IT Asset Disposal of Bass Computers, Inc.“Prior to disposing of obsolete electronics, organizations must understand the importance of destroying the hard drives to prevent others from accessing personal and company information.The only guaranteed way to destroy the data is to shred the hard drives.”

Identity theft continues to be a top concern all across the country; therefore, Bass Computers has
begun offering a shredding service to secure and protect customers’ confidential information.

“We cannot express the importance of having several hard drives,with patient information,destroyed in the manner that Bass Computers provided. Bass Computers accomplished this with their new equipment, and ensured that all of the hard drives were completely shredded.In addition, we
appreciate the added security in ensuring that all of the hard drives were securely transferred from our facility to theirs.We would also like to commend Bass Computers on providing video footage and an inventory list of all destroyed hard drives,”says Charles Ray, IT&S Director at HCA Shared Services Center.

BCI introduced the new off-site and on-site mobile hard drive destruction as a means to help satisfy customer needs for data security when it comes time to upgrade their technology. Our service, hard drive shredding, ensures secure data destruction by providing:
• Night and weekend services
• Certificate of Drive Destruction
• Digital Video Recording of the Destruction upon request
• Secure facility under 24 hour video surveillance
• Inventory of drives by serial number by request
