Sims Recycling Solutions’ partner, IT services and technology company Morse, are reminding UK organisations of the need to ensure they are correctly and reliably disposing of sensitive data or risk incurring sizeable fines from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). From April 6th, the ICO will be able to impose fines of up to £500,000 on organisations who are responsible for serious data leaks or losses, a 100-times increase on the previous limit of £5,000. As a result, any data that is not properly destroyed could potentially cost an organisation hundreds of thousands of pounds, not to mention the cost to reputation and other threats, if it is lost. To help prevent this, Morse and its partner Sims Recycling Solutions, are offering on-site data destruction to organisations who want to make sure that they are wiping data effectively and leaving nothing to chance in reducing the risk of data loss.
