SECURE DATA DESTRUCTION AND REPORTING

We can ensure complete elimination of confidential information on your hard drives through a software or physical destruction method. Our binary wipe process utilizes the US Department of Defense approved standard 5220.22-M method, overwriting all addressable storage and indexing locations on the drive three timesUsing a 'soft' destruction method is just as secure as physical destruction, but allows a drive to be considered for reuse, providing more long-term environmental benefit.

Physical Destruction

Through physical destruction we ensure storage media is completely unusable for future data and all information is completely destroyed through the shredding of the hard drive.With both methods, we can also provide a complete log of the assets and hard drives processed identifying them by asset tag, make, model and serial number. We charge $5 each to inventory assets and/or hard drives, and $3 each for certified hard drive destruction. Quantities discounts are available. There is no additional fee for a certificate of destruction.

Other Media

Optical and magentic media is collected and sent to a downstream processor for secure sorting, shredding and reclamation of the plastic and magnetic materials. In addition, tape media can be degaussed in-house for a fee.Cell phones are handled by a partner facility where confidential information is guaranteed to be removed before parts or whole units are considered for reuse.
