Ensuring Data Privacy: A Comprehensive Guide to Data Sanitisation with SER

In the era of digital transformation, the security of sensitive data is a paramount concern for organisations across the globe. As privacy violations and data breaches become increasingly common, the necessity for robust data management and destruction practices cannot be overstated. This guide not only serves as an indispensable resource for any organisation aiming to protect its data from unauthorised access but also introduces SER Limited’s specialised data destruction services, providing a comprehensive solution tailored to meet your organisation’s needs.

What is Data Sanitisation?

Data sanitisation extends beyond the simple act of hitting ‘Delete’. It is the meticulous process of removing sensitive data from storage media, ensuring it is beyond recovery. This process is crucial for businesses to prevent potential data breaches and protect their reputation, along with the privacy of their customers and employees.

When to Consider Data Sanitisation

Data sanitisation becomes imperative in several scenarios, including but not limited to:

Re-use: Prior to reallocating devices within the company or selling them.
Repair: When returning devices to vendors for repairs.
Disposal: Before disposing of unwanted media, especially when using third-party disposal services.
Destruction: If opting for the physical destruction of media, either on-site or off-site.

The Risks of Neglecting Data Sanitisation

Ignoring proper sanitisation can lead to numerous risks, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, loss of information assets, potential fraud, identity theft, and significant damage to the organisation’s reputation and financial standing.

The Role of Encryption

Encryption serves as a critical safeguard for devices prone to loss or theft. By securing data in encrypted form, it remains protected against most threats, emphasizing the importance of encryption for mobile devices.

Andes Mountains Hydro Power - Chile

Located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, this Hydroelectric project is around 120km south of Santiago, Chile. Known as La Confluencia, the 163 MW run of river hydro power plant utilizes the hydrological resources of the Tinguiririca, Portillo and Azufre Rivers, in a run of river scheme to generate and supply zero emission energy to the Chilean central electricity grid (SIC). The power plant generates certified emission reductions (CERs) by displacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity.

Environmental Sustainability

The primary objective of the proposed project is to help meet Chile’s rising demand for energy due to its economic growth and to improve the supply of electricity, while contributing to the environmental, social (job creation in the construction phase, and infrastructure enhancements in surrounding municipalities) and economic sustainability by increasing renewable energy’s share on the Chilean electricity consumption. The Project activity improves the supply of electricity with clean, renewable hydroelectric power while contributing to the regional/local economic development.

Social Development

Through the “Tinguiririca Participa” grant program, the project directly finances proposals presented by community organisation, in areas such as healthcare, education, and social change. In the first year of the program, the joint venture financed 11 projects, while today the number of projects surpasses 200. All of these initiatives are aimed at meeting community needs.

Flora and Fauna

In addition to social projects, reforestation of around 120 hectares around the site has been implemented, helping protect and improve the local flora and fauna, with a specific impact on local Tricahue Parrot, Torrent Duck, Freshwater Catfish, Torrent Duck and Freshwater Catfish species.
