Protecting Data Security

Data Security means more than protecting key information, it’s about protecting a client’s reputation. Cascade’s Safe & Sound process further promotes our clients’ trust by minimizing data security risks.

Data Security components of the Safe & Sound process include

People
Cascade employees (not subcontractors) can remove equipment from your site and prepare it for transport to our facilities. Before becoming part of our well-trained and specialized staff, each candidate must pass a criminal background check and drug testing. Our employees provide more than 150 years of combined industry experience, and are directly accountable to you.

Technology
Cascade utilizes the best available independently certified wiping technology to thoroughly overwrite your data on reusable hard drives. Physical shredding is performed at Cascade’s sites for all media and for items requiring absolute destruction.

Methods
Cascade’s proven methods for secure data destruction are certified by the International Association of Electronics Recyclers, further adhering to the strict standards set forth by the National Association for Information Destruction. Our Errors & Omissions Insurance provides additional peace of mind, as does our record of zero data compromises.

Facilities
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with proactive intrusion detection systems, complete with 24/7 streaming video surveillance and rigorous internal barriers. All inventory is held within our secure walls with a verifiable chain of custody from the customer to final destruction.
