Has anyone out there considered the potential for even further security breeches if these laptops are falling into the wrong hands. The fact that the lost property departments are openly auctioning off laptops is very worrying. Has the fact that these machines will store sensitive data been raised? My company is an asset recovery specialist which uses only CESG approved software for data erasure. We can advise on the safest and most viable options when it comes to data security and resale values. Contact me on 01527 544 522
