Consequences
Even if you think that your erasure software had been successful, simply throwing out your electronic device is a gamble. It is relatively simple for someone to remove a hard drive and plug it into a new system. Many times data recovery software can bring back the files you thought were “deleted.” Anyone with the right expertise and determination could figure out a way to recover data from a drive that was improperly destroyed.
Erasing Data Is Not Enough

Our Method
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.
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 number for every hard drive destroyed at our facilities. The certificate of destruction erasures that degaussing and destruction were successful.
