Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Provide A Certificate Of Destruction For Hard Drives?
Yes, we provide a certificate of destruction for the hard drives we process. This document includes details such as the serial number of each drive, the method of destruction used, and the date and time of destruction. It serves as proof that your confidential information has been securely and permanently destroyed in accordance with data protection laws and industry best practices.
What Is The Secure Hard Drive Disposal Process?
Our secure hard drive disposal service follows a strict, multi-step process designed to ensure total security from collection to destruction. Drives are securely transported to a licensed facility, where they are physically destroyed using state-of-the-art shredding equipment. Once complete, we issue a certificate of destruction and handle all asset disposition and recycling in an environmentally responsible manner.
How Do You Ensure Sensitive Information Is Completely Destroyed?
We use industrial-grade shredders and degaussers specifically designed for destroying data on hard drives beyond recovery. The equipment ensures that no confidential information can ever be retrieved. Each step of the data disposal process is monitored and documented to prevent any risk of your data falling into the wrong hands.
What Are The Data Protection Regulations?
Businesses are legally required to follow strict data protection laws, such as the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, when handling personal and confidential information. These regulations mandate that any data stored on digital media must be disposed of securely to prevent breaches. Using a compliant hard disk drive disposal service like ours helps ensure you meet these obligations and avoid serious penalties.
