Hard Drive Destruction and Data Erasure Methods
We offer shredding, crushing, degaussing and data wiping, allowing you to choose the right level of security for your needs, whether you are clearing redundant IT equipment, upgrading infrastructure or managing secure disposal.
Capabilities
Four destruction methods, one accountable partner
Shredding
Shredding breaks hard drives into small fragments, making data unrecoverable. Physical destruction provides the highest level of security for sensitive or regulated data.
Crushing
Crushing physically damages the drive to prevent access. A fast, definitive destruction method for data-bearing devices that no longer need to be reused.
Degaussing
Degaussing uses a powerful magnetic field to erase all data instantly from magnetic storage media, providing a reliable solution for highly sensitive information.
Data wiping
Approved software (Certus Erasure, verified to NIST 800-88) removes data securely while allowing the device to be reused or remarketed, unlocking value while staying compliant.
