Data destruction

As regulations become more restrictive and public scrutiny increases, all organizations must have an auditable data destruction plan.

 

In 2002, The Basel Action Network turned up names from dozens of companies and organizations whose computer parts, hard drives, or asset tags were found in Guiyu, China, the veritable capital of e-waste exporting. Even information from the highly secure Northrop Grumman Corporation was exposed in a Frontline documentary - including confidential contract information with TSA, NASA, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

 

Compliance lawsuits could end up tarnishing the reputations of each of these companies, as well as any company that doesn’t think through their destruction methods.

Hard drive destruction

Protect your company’s proprietary information today with CompuCycle’s secure data destruction methods.

 

Secure Transport and a Single-Source Provider

Your equipment will not be shipped to various locations, possibly exposing assets to potential risk. CompuCycle gathers your equipment from your office and brings it directly to our 24/7, secure facility. You can even watch your electronics coming down the line with our web camera surveillance. Our facility is monitored by cameras, technicians undergo extensive background checks, and exiting our processing facility space requires passing through metal detectors. Routine inspections by your security and EHS teams are encouraged. From collection to inventorying, data deletion to asset tag removal, and finally disposal, your data does not leave CompuCycle headquarters.

 

Compliance

When entrusted to us, your electronics suddenly fall under our comprehensive liability insurance. CompuCycle assumes all liabilities for handling and disposal of sensitive data as well as electronic waste. We are equipped to manage all compliance issues with regard to HIPAA, FACTA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and Gramm-Leach Bliley.

 

Destruction

Your hard drives either pay a visit to our industrial strength Komar™ hard drive shredder or undergo a standard three-pass wipe through United States Department of Defense compliant (DoD 5220.22-M) data erasure software that removes all partition tables and drive formats.

 

CompuCycle is vigilant in the protection of your proprietary information.

 

  • All asset tags and company identifiers are removed from each machine
  • We utilize the most current software and techniques for ensuring complete, secure wiping of personal and corporate information
  • The process is documented with a Certificate of Confirmed Destruction/Erasure with date and time of action

 

Please view the video demonstrations for a better understanding of our erasure and shredding processes, or simply call to schedule a visit to our facility and watch the shredding live.
