Medical Data Destruction
Medical professionals that interface with patient information can have widely varying rules and regulations surrounding data collection and destruction. Patient security is paramount. Part of the health industry’s mandate to providing care to patients is responsible management of their information, which also includes proper destruction methods. Simple data erasure prior to eliminating devices is not sufficient.
Our Process
Degaussing
This method will destroy the data with the use of a high-powered magnet. This magnet will interrupt the magnetic field within the electronic medium. This disruption will destroy all the data. It is an efficient and quick way to destroy data on a device that is housing loads of sensitive information.
Shredding
Solid State Drives (SSDs) and memory chips require additional destruction requirements as they don’t react to the degaussing process. In these cases we dismantle the appropriate hardware and physically shred it to ensure complete destruction.
Data Destruction
Secondarily, We crush the entire hard drive, causing enough physical damage to the drive that further renders it unrecoverable.
Certification
We issue a certificate of destruction with serial numbers for every hard drive destroyed at our facilities. The certificate of destruction ensures that degaussing and destruction were successful.
