Service Methods
We offer overwriting for reusable drives, degaussing for magnetic media, and physical shredding for complete destruction. The method is selected based on media type, data sensitivity, and whether the asset will be remarketed or fully retired.
On-Site vs Off-Site
For high-security environments, on-site shredding can be arranged where our team brings industrial equipment to your facility. Standard workflows use secure transport to our processing location with full chain-of-custody documentation.
Compliance Value
Our Certificates of Destruction reference NIST 800-88 methodology and include drive serial numbers, sanitization method, date, and operator verification. These documents satisfy auditor, insurer, and regulatory requirements for data breach prevention evidence.
