Secure data erasure for corporate phones and tablets
What You Get

Every Asset Logged. Every Step Documented.

The same verified foundations on every project — documented, traceable, and UK-only.

1. Certified data erasure

NIST SP 800-88 erasure aligned with UK GDPR and current NCSC secure sanitisation guidance, with a certificate per device.

2. Safe battery handling

Lithium-ion batteries are treated as hazardous waste under a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note with ADR transport.

3. Value recovered, not lost

Reusable devices are tested, graded, and resold, and you receive a transparent share that offsets the cost.

UK chain of custody. No offshore brokering.

Every asset is logged by serial number, transported under chain of custody by our Environment Agency registered carrier, and processed at our licensed UK facility in Mitcham — never sold on to an untracked offshore broker.
