Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC Businesses replace technology fast. Laptops get upgraded, servers get refreshed, phones get swapped, and “that box of old hard drives” quietly grows in a closet somewhere. The risk is that disposal becomes an afterthought-handled like normal recycling, a quick reset, or a handoff to a third party with vague assurances. And when that happens, the consequences aren’t theoretical. Poor data destruction can turn yesterday’s equipment into tomorrow’s breach, audit issue, or legal headache. And because “data destruction” can mean a few different things in practice-wiping, shredding, degaussing, and more-it helps to be…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC   If you’ve ever opened a storage closet and found a sad little box of old hard drives staring back at you, you already know the feeling: “I think these were wiped… but if someone plugged them in, what would they see?” Modern guidance is pretty blunt: as long as the hardware physically exists, the data on it can often still be recovered with the right tools. Universities like Johns Hopkins explicitly warn that simply deleting or reformatting information on most storage media is often not enough, because that data is “easily recovered.”…

Written By: Lizabeth Levinson Brittney Powell Fox Rothschild   A growing number of companies – following the lead of Costco – are filing protective lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) to preserve their right to refunds if the Supreme Court strikes down the Trump administration’s emergency-based tariffs. If your company paid tariffs enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in 2025, you should consider immediate, practical steps to protect your position. Fox Rothschild’s International Trade team is filing suit on behalf of a coalition of plaintiffs. Email Lizbeth Levinson at llevinson@foxrothschild.com or your primary contact at the…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC   When your company retires old laptops, servers, or hard drives, there’s always a basic question in the background: How do you prove the data is really gone? You might wipe drives or send equipment to a recycler. But if an auditor, regulator, or cyber insurer asks a year from now, “Show us what happened to these devices,” verbal assurances won’t cut it. You need something you can actually put on the table. That’s where an ITAD certificate of destruction comes in. It’s a straightforward document that connects specific devices to a specific destruction…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC.   If you manage retiring laptops, servers, backup tapes, or the odd box of legacy media, you already know the uncomfortable truth: “delete” isn’t destruction. Drives fail, tapes age, and fleets get refreshed-but the data inside them doesn’t vanish on its own. At CLR Solutions, we help organizations choose the right end-of-life method for each device, balancing security, cost, and sustainability. One option that still matters in 2025 is degaussing-the use of a powerful magnetic field to scramble data on magnetic media so it can never be reconstructed. This post explains what degaussing is, how it works,…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC Every business and individual today depends on data. It’s in your emails, your financial records, your health information, and your client files. But what happens when the devices holding that data – hard drives, servers, laptops, phones – reach the end of their life? Simply deleting files isn’t enough. Without proper handling, sensitive information can still be pulled back with basic recovery tools, leaving you exposed to data breaches, identity theft, and regulatory fines. That’s where data destruction comes in. At CLR Solutions, we specialize in secure, certified destruction methods that make sure your…
