Taking every step possible to ensure your data will be safe is crucial when operating a business. There are many different precautions you can take to help you keep your data safe.  One way this can be done is to create a system when getting rid of old equipment.

According to Tech Republic, “Keep a checklist for the decommissioning process to make sure you don’t forget a step at any point. This can be especially important when dealing with many, many computers at once, such as when an entire department is shut down — but it’s important the rest of the time, too.”
