Secure data destruction: shredded hard drives and digital media
Why It Matters

The Risk of Retired Hardware

Residual Data Remains

Deleting or formatting isn’t enough—data can often be recovered using simple tools.

Costly Data Breaches

UK businesses lose on average £3M+ per breach from compromised end-of-life devices.

Compliance Obligations

GDPR and sector-specific regulations demand verifiable, certified data destruction.

Our Data Destruction Methods

We use multiple secure methods to ensure that all data is permanently destroyed, tailored to the media type and your compliance requirements. Full reports and certificates are issued with every job.

  • 1

    In-House Erasure

    We use an in-house developed software protocol that performs multiple overwrites followed by verification checks. Each device is securely erased and accompanied by a verifiable erasure report.

  • 2

    ATA Secure Erase

    Modern HDDs and SSDs have built-in secure erase commands defined by the ATA standard, sometimes called “Sanitize” or “Enhanced Secure Erase.” Where supported, we trigger these on-board commands to scramble all stored data at the firmware level, making recovery impossible.

  • 3

    Certified Software Erasure

    For clients requiring formal certification, we provide erasure using audited tools such as Blancco, WhiteCanyon, or KillDisk. These solutions generate tamper-proof reports accepted under ISO, GDPR, NHS, MOD and other regulatory frameworks.

  • 4

    Physical Destruction

    For drives beyond erasure, we provide shredding or crushing services to physically destroy the media. This guarantees permanent data elimination and is always accompanied by a Certificate of Destruction.
