An ill-intentioned user can often run common data rescue or recovery utilities, such as Prosoft Engineering’s Data Rescue, Alsoft’s DiskWarrior, or Micromat’s TechTool Pro, and recover those deleted files.

It’s more important than ever to ensure proprietary data, medical and/or financial information and other confidential files are securely removed from a system, external disk or portable drive when no longer needed, discarded, or decommissioned. Businesses using Macs aren’t immune from malware attacks, stolen systems or other orchestrated attacks designed to provide unauthorized access to sensitive information. Here are the built-in options as well as some third-party solutions.
