Why Do Organisations Need Data Sanitisation?

Data sanitisation maintains the confidentiality of important records by destroying sensitive and residual data on retired equipment, allowing businesses to safely resell, reuse, or recycle their equipment. We use systematic and controlled ways to delete information permanently to protect the data from breaches.

Our Data Sanitisation Process

Assess Media

We evaluate each device to determine its media type, condition, and how it interfaces with other equipment. They are classified into magnetic drives, flash storage, etc., to determine the correct sanitisation method.

Select Sanitisation Method

Our teams select the possible methods of sanitisation based on the storage technology and the possibility of being able to retain it for future use. They decide the method, remaining in line with NIST's media sanitisation recommendations.

Sanitise the Device

Beyond standard deletion, we securely sanitise the media using the appropriate sanitisation methods, like overwriting, purging, and other advanced wiping tools, making sure that the data cannot be recovered. The device is preserved for reuse or resale.

Verify Data Non-recoverability

At this stage, the verification of data sanitisation is conducted through a series of checks to ensure that the intended data is unrecoverable even with forensic reconstruction and that it can be moved to the next phase.

Certificate of Sanitisation

Get a detailed Certificate of Sanitisation that lists the asset and records the sanitisation with complete information. It acts as evidence for internal controls and audits and is also an identifier when managing large volumes.

Compliance & Certifications

Our sanitisation methodology and services are backed by ISO 27001 standards and the NIST SP 800-88 recommendations. Partnering with us, you stay compliant with UK GDPR and other regulatory obligations as we commit to protecting your personal data and keeping you safe from data leaks and theft.

Data Sanitization Methods: Clear, Purge, Destroy

Data Sanitization Methods: Clear, Purge, Destroy
Method	What It Means	Common Techniques	Media Reusable?
Clear	Overwrites data using software so it can't be recovered through normal means	Data wiping, factory reset, multi-pass overwrite	Yes
Purge	Removes data so it can't be recovered even with advanced techniques	Degaussing, cryptographic erasure, secure erase	Yes
Destroy	Physically destroys the media so data recovery is impossible	Shredding, disintegration, pulverizing	No

Advantages of Professional Data Sanitisation

Complete Data Protection

Professional Sanitisation helps remove all residual information from storage devices and protects potentially sensitive information from being disclosed. We follow strict NIST guidelines for media sanitisation and systematic processes to protect data on the device.

Supports Asset Value Recovery

We effectively perform hard drive sanitisation, keeping the hardware fully functional and data irretrievable. This allows suitable working devices to be reused or remarketed, so the organisations can recover residual asset value.

Environmentally Responsible

We are an eco-conscious service provider and prioritise destroying sensitive data without unnecessarily destroying the physical hardware. We process the hardware carefully to extend its useful life, reducing needless disposal and harm to land and water.
