    What is data destruction?

    Data destruction involves permanent erasure of electronic data stored on devices. Unlike regular formatting options, our safe data destruction procedure ensures that the digital media is unrecoverable even with advanced digital recovery tools.

    what is meant

    Methods of Data Destruction

    Data Wiping

    Data Wiping

    Unlike standard data deletion options, our certified data wiping services use software to permanently remove data by software overwriting, making the storage device safe for resale and reuse.  

    Data Erasure

    Data Erasure

    Our NIST-aligned, rigorous data destruction services use approved software to permanently delete data bits. We use Magnetic Neutralisation. Cryptographic Erasure, etc., based on the media type and recycling goal, issuing verifiable proof/certification.

    Data Shredding

    Data Shredding

    This involves the use of powerful industrial-grade shredders to destroy electronic media physically. The procedure guarantees that data is unrecoverable and is used for end-of-life, faulty, or devices with extremely sensitive information.

    Data Sanitisation

    Data Sanitisation

    Our data sanitisation procedure uses a combination of software, physical destruction, and degaussing to ensure that data is permanently deleted in a manner that meets regulatory compliance and best practice standards.

    Crushing

    Crushing

    Using hydraulic steel punches, this procedure crushes the spin platters of hard disks and PC circuit boards to ensure the drives are physically destroyed in a cost-effective manner. The process guarantees that the media is rendered completely unusable and irreparable.

    Degaussing

    Degaussing

    The process works within stringent frameworks, exposing magnetic media to powerful magnetic fields, thereby demagnetising them and permanently deleting the data. It is a fast and reliable method of data destruction suitable for tape media.

    Our Secure Data Destruction Process

    Secure Collection

    Using GPS tracking and security screening procedures, our data destruction service collects your unwanted hardware on-site or takes it off-site. Our secure data centre destruction services guarantee the safety of your hardware throughout the disposal process.

    Asset Inventory

    Every device that we collect undergoes a comprehensive scanning procedure to establish the inventory. This step allows us to produce an accurate list of serial numbers of all assets we receive, compared to the list provided by our clients.

    Chain of Custody

    Unlike generic logistics companies, our data destruction company guarantees a sealed custody process with GPS tracking to ensure that your hardware is not tampered with or accessed by unauthorised persons.

    Sanitisation/Destruction

    Our certified data sanitisation experts use industry-approved overwriting or physical destruction procedures to delete all sensitive data bits on the devices. Our experts handle all levels and complexities of data erasure, meeting compliance and regulatory requirements. 

    Verification

    The verification process guarantees that there are no traces of data on any of the devices we receive. Our quality assurance experts conduct a technical scan of the media to verify that the data has been permanently deleted.

    Certificate

    After verification, we issue a certificate of data destruction with the serial numbers of the devices processed. This document provides compliance evidence that all data has been permanently deleted and satisfies UK GDPR requirements for businesses.
