Internal or External Destruction?
To effectively prevent data protection incidents, you require a water-tight organisation system, which includes all the departments in your authority, administration or company. This means that one personal document shredder is not enough: You require a combination of multiple professional shredders, strategically located, centrally and around the office, to ensure optimum security.
This also raises the question of whether to use an external data storage media destruction service or keep things in-house? At first, glance, contracting an external service provider to dispose of data storage media might be appealing. Due to aspects such as tied-up capital, responsibility and effort can be outsourced. However, if you consider and calculate the costs more thoroughly. It is often the case that the financial expense for the service provider and the rental costs for the removal container is significantly higher than acquiring your own document shredder. However, you should never delegate the responsibility for disposing of old data and information storage media.
According to law, anyone who records information is responsible for the protection of such data for as long as it is retained. This also included the disposal of said data, in such a way that is appropriate to data protection law and that makes further access to the data impossible. This means that outsourcing data storage media disposal is only advisable for unusually large quantities, otherwise, purchasing your own document shredder is highly recommended for regular quantities. By disposing of data storage media internally, you also avoid the risks associated with storing data in between collection times for long periods, and you can always check that the data is being destroyed in a lawfully appropriate manner.
New ISO / IEC 21964 (DIN 66399)
The ISO IEC 21964 is new, but its content is not. It is familiar content from the national standard DIN 66399, which is already in place. The ISO/IEC 21964 standardises the demands for the destruction of confidential data on an international level.
