3 Steps to Secure Hard Drive Destruction
After we arrive in our state-of-the-art mobile shredding vehicle, destroying your media storage equipment is a simple, three-step process:
1
We scan and record all hard drives and media against your inventory lists, documenting each serial number, parent, type, make, and model.
2
All media is destroyed according to applicable guidelines, including degaussing and shredding for businesses subject to NSA rules.
3
You receive a certificate of destruction (COD) documenting the official destruction of each item, as well as the presence of witnesses.
Hard Drive Destruction Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

NAID-certified hard drive shredding mitigates data security threats by providing complete assurance that erased data can never be recovered. It’s also a core operational requirement for businesses that must adhere to specific media destruction guidelines, like NSA/CSS, DoD, HIPAA, and others.
