Our employees are fully trained and undergo regular background checks to properly handle classified information and sensitive data. We offer both on-site and off-site hard drive shredding services, and our e-Crate system makes electronic device recycling simple, safe, and convenient.

Data Destruction
“Top notch company and staff. Thank you for your continued support!”
Paul Smith,
VP of Compliance
What is secure data destruction?
Secure data destruction is the certified process of permanently eliminating data from hard drives and other storage devices so it cannot be recovered. For businesses, this means using approved methods like shredding or degaussing, that meet standards such as R2v3 requirements. Our team documents every step, provides Certificates of Destruction, and maintains a full chain of custody so your organization stays compliant and protected against data breaches.
Do you handle large volumes?
Absolutely. We work with everything from small batches to full data center clean-outs.
How does your company handle the hard drives of assets that will be remarketed vs. recycled? Can the client specify the final disposition?
Our clients have the ultimate say in final disposition of assets. Our default procedure is to remove the drives from any memory bearing devices, run them through our degausser, which uses magnetic pulse erasure, and then takes a photo of the drive. We then crush (HDD) or shred (SSD) the drive. Assets can be remarketed without removable hard drives with zero decrease in value.
How do you track equipment?
We log your items as they arrive and maintain a documented chain of custody. Serial-number reporting is available when required.
Do you offer indemnification as part of your service?
We indemnify in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Destruction and insurance coverage including Professional Liability coverage. Our indemnification covers up to $5 million per incident. We also offer the option of naming the client on our policy.
Why is data destruction important for businesses?
When a business retires IT equipment, sensitive information can remain on hard drives and storage media. If that data isn’t destroyed properly, it creates serious risks, including regulatory violations, financial penalties, and potential breaches. Certified data destruction ensures your company’s confidential, customer, and proprietary information is permanently removed. It also provides the documentation you need for audits and compliance, giving your organization legal and security protection throughout the disposal process.
