Data Destruction

Data is arguably the most valuable commodity to a company or organisation. Improperly decommissioned end of use removable media and storage devices can pose huge security risks, especially where the devices original use may have included processing or inputting confidential information belonging to your firm, customers or staff. The cost can be loss of business, loss of reputation and/or fines. Two of the GDPR principles include:

​

- Data should not be kept for longer than necessary

- Data should be kept secure

 

All companies and organisations should have a policy in place to deal with such equipment and a compliant data destruction partner. Most DIY destruction techniques fall short of rendering the data irretrievable. Don’t leave it to chance.

​

We work with a company that can help you compile an inventory, list of works and assets or you can provide us with a list of equipment ready for data destruction and asset assessment. A date of your choosing can then be arranged for on or off-site data destruction.

​​

Clients insist on discretion. Is your data of such a sensitive nature that it is important the public and or staff shouldn’t know when its being dealt with? Our trading partner will arrive at your premises with this in mind, they will only discuss our visit with your named representative. All measures will be taken to keep our data management services private. Unmarked vehicles can be booked for your job where data destruction is taking place off-site.

​​

Upon arrival in your premises their security cleared team will under supervision remove the data storage devices from your equipment scan and lock in security tagged containers. Witnessed the security seals are broken at our mobile shredder unit and the devices one by one scanned and fed into the shredder. Always within view of onboard CCTV the client can witness remotely or attend onsite.

​​

Their mobile shredders industrial grade knives cut the data storage devices into fragments rendering data irretrievable. They have three shred sizes available 30 mm strip cut or NCSC/CPNI compliant 20 mm / 6 mm cross cut options, their team can recommend cut sizes depending on your data sensitivity and budget. With optional degaussing wiping of magnetic media by powerful electromagnetic field or forensic data wiping software to leave the drives reusable, your end of life asset and data management is covered.

​

With chronological recording and documentation of serial numbers at every point of collection, transfer, storage and disposal within your premises or in possession, your data devices are tracked through a transparent, verified and trusted process. Upon destruction you will be provided with a data destruction certificate listing all items and serial numbers.
