D3 Granted New Patent for Data Destruction on Optical Media
July 13, 2010Fort Myers, FL - Digital Data Destruction (D3, Inc.)today
announced that it was granted a new patent on its method and process to
safely destroy the digital data contained on Optical Discs. The patent
award by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, # 7,753,762
adds to four previously awarded US and foreign patents in this
exclusive niche. The new technology covered by this optical disc data
destruction patent also anticipates a new more stringent National and
International standard to destroy digital data due to emerging forensic
recovery techniques. This patent covers processes and technology which
will continue to insure complete and total destruction of clients’ data
in an efficient and economical fashion while addressing the rapidly
growing need to comply with the data destruction requirements of HIPAA,
Gramm-Leach-Bliley, FACTA and Sarbanes-Oxley Federal legislation and the
NIST standard as outlined in SP 800-88.
The patent claims allow D3 to exclusively employ several unique
methods to destroy the digital information contained on optical discs
independent of where the data resides on the specific type of media.
Continuing unpublished work at eTriage and at other organizations has
scientifically proven that many alternative processes currently used by
commercial interests which rely on an antiquated paper shredding model
or dimpling processes, keep significant amounts of data on the discs.
Government or commercial interests using unsafe technology invite
serious financial and legal liabilities. This new technology from D3
provides the industry with Tier 5 equipment which is beyond forensic
recovery.
Dr. Hutchison, President and CTO
of D3, Inc., said of this most recent patent award, “D3 continues to
innovate and develop new processes and equipment which can be used to
safely destroy digital data on electronic media, once that information
is obsolete or has reached it’s end-of-life usefulness. ”
