These threats can lead to vulnerability in an organisation. It is our promise to deliver the best methods of protection to your organisation and make 100% sure that you are covered.
Data Wiping
We employ the American Federal standard for securely wiping data from drives, DoD 5220.2-M, which is a software-based data sanitisation method used in various files shredder and data destruction programs to overwrite existing information on a hard drive or another storage device. Erasing a hard drive using the DoD 5220.22-M data sanitisation method will prevent all software-based file recovery methods, as well as hardware-based recovery methods, from recovering meaningful data from the drive, using the three-pass method. We can offer a certificate of sanitisation for each hard drive that has been processed and a report to achieve accountability across the board.
Physical Destruction
We ensure secure data destruction process in the following steps:
Secure monitored transport of the data storage media from client's site to our secure facilities.
Witnessing of the physical destruction process via mechanical methods that render the devices useless and impossible to repair or recover, including pictorial or video evidence of destruction.
Video surveillance of key operational areas to maintain a 100% security level.
Detailed, auditable reporting of the destruction. A certificate of destruction will be issued bearing the weight, date and serial numbers or quantities of items depending on the client's individual needs.
Physical asset destruction can be done onsite or offsite.
We can perform physical destruction for solid-state and magnetic storage media.
