Why Proper Data Destruction Matters
Sensitive data can remain on devices long after they leave service. Secure handling requires controlled processes, appropriate destruction methods and documented verification.
Data Destruction Services
Data Sanitization (Wiping)
For equipment intended for reuse or resale, data is sanitized using current industry guidance appropriate to the media type and customer requirements.
Physical Destruction
For devices that will not be reused, physical destruction options include hard-drive crushing and shredding.
Solid-State Drive Destruction
Solid-state storage is processed differently than traditional hard drives. Destruction addresses the full circuit board and memory components—not just the outer casing.
Degaussing (Magnetic Media Only)
Degaussing is available for compatible magnetic media and is not used for solid-state or flash-based storage.
Chain of Custody & Documentation
Every step is tracked and documented, including:
Secure pickup and controlled transport
Asset and serial-number tracking (when requested)
Controlled processing and destruction
Verification of completed destruction
Certificate of Destruction or Sanitization
