Hard drive destruction is the actual destruction of the hard drive or other data bearing device to ensure that all of the information is destroyed and prevents it getting into the wrong hands.

What kind of destruction can we do?

What kind of destruction can we do?

  • Hard Drive Destruction: We use our mobile crusher (hard drives can be destroyed through crushing on site and are then shredded back at our site – or they can just be crushed)
  • Data Wiping: this is only available off site and securely erases and cleanses all data from the hard drive or data bearing device

What Is the difference between hard drive destruction and data wiping?

Hard drive destruction means the physical destruction of the data bearing device. This is a paid for service and can only be conducted to an extent on site with crushing. Following that the hard drives are shredded back at our HQ. Following shredding the metals are sent for reprocessing.

Data wipe is a cheaper service and is completed off site only. We use state of the art technology to securely erase and cleanse all data from the hard drive and ensure that cyber criminals cannot access your digital identity.
