Secure Data Destruction
Securely, timely, and environmentally sensitive disposal of computer equipment is a major challenge for all organizations nowadays. Just as it’s critical to set up and configure an asset for use, it must be recycled appropriately both to eliminate risk and to ensure maximum return on investment.
An organization’s data represents its greatest asset. When recycling IT hardware equipment, there is a significant risk that data may fall into the wrong hands. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 Certification ensure that our process and mission are to dispose of your obsolete IT equipment safely and securely. Our employees are fully trained and go through regular background checks to be sure they can handle security procedures for classified data and information destruction. We are providing both on-site and off-site hard drive destruction services.
Data Sanitisation
To protect information and personal data, the drives need to be permanently wiped. It is not enough to simply erase the data by using traditional methods like deleting files or old-fashioned formatting. Nowadays, deleted information can be recovered by smart data recovery software.
We are providing comprehensive data wipes as part of our spectrum of electronic waste recycling services. We pledge to protect the data in the afterlife of obsolete IT hardware equipment. Hard drive wiping (NIST 800-88 Sanitisation) is the process that permanently deletes all the information and data from the hard disk drive, making it impossible to retrieve.
This goes beyond simple formatting, especially in cases where sensitive data is involved. In this process, the disk is not physically destroyed, making it reusable for refurbishment and resale purposes. Based on the client’s requirements, we also provide degaussing and crushing of hard drives.
Onsite Data Destruction
Sometimes allowing data to leave your site is not an option!
For some organisations, data security goes beyond protecting the company and its employees. It is fundamental to its operations, services and customers.
Where security is paramount, ITRG offers a range of CESG compliant onsite services in the UK to ensure that your data is totally secure.
