Data Destruction

Where security of data is of paramount importance and you need to be absolutely sure that data cannot be recovered from disposed of media, destruction is the only way to guarantee it. It is not just physical damage to storage media but a sophisticated and thorough process of destruction that can guarantee permanent safety.

Government organizations, public service departments, insurance companies, banks and also corporate entities have large amounts of sensitive data stored in magnetic media, optical media and solid-state storage devices. Devices may reach the end of life or develop faults or just become unusable. In all such cases, it is important that data be thoroughly purged from the media and media destroyed in a manner to make it impossible for anyone to recover any part of the data.
