Secure Data Destruction

Our Secure, Certified Data Destruction Services

Physical Data Destruction

Our physical data destruction method ensures that all data-bearing media and devices are rendered irretrievable and irreparable. If an item doesn't pass the verification process for wiping, we resort to physical destruction. This involves using a shredding machine to reduce all media into 6mm particles.

We can shred any type of data-carrying media. We provide data destruction certificates and an asset report for all items that are physically destroyed

Data Erasure

Our preferred method for data destruction is secure data erasure. This technique involves overwriting each block of data on storage media like hard drives with unusable data, ensuring complete data elimination. The process entails multiple passes, rewriting data block by block, and then verifies that all original data has been thoroughly removed.

Upon completion, the system automatically produces a unique certificate of data destruction, confirming the results.

Ensuring Your Data and Privacy Protection

As part of your GDPR responsibilities, you must ensure that data from outdated devices is securely erased or destroyed. Net Zero IT Recycling, an ICO-accredited data processor, is fully qualified to manage and destroy your data in compliance with GDPR, keeping your organisation aligned with legislative requirements.

We follow the best data destruction methods recommended by the National Cyber Security Centre, ensuring your data is irreversibly destroyed to the highest standards.

Our data sanitisation and destruction processes come with full certificates of data destruction and detailed audit trails for all data-bearing media, ensuring traceability for both internal and external audits.
