International Data Destruction and Demand

Widespread need for secure data destruction meant that language-variants of the program needed to be developed to support demand. Coverage of the product in countries like Germany and Singapore led to excessive downloading. A large increase in electronic waste due to high quantities of old computers being thrown out as garbage in dumps and landfills made security of data stored on hard drives a bigger concern of the general public. Data destruction became a part of regular service offerings from the company as press coverage highlighted the step in the data recovery process.
